DTF Wholesale Printing Process
1 Send Us Your Image
Send us the photo you want printed. Users can print their logos and/or artwork using direct to film (DTF) printing onto a coated PET film. Vector ready or print ready PNG.
2 Print To Film
Using a garment printer, we will print your design directly onto the DTF film. The film is coated with an emulsion that makes the ink stick so that it doesn’t run off the film.
3 Apply Powder
The DTF adhesive powder is applied while the ink is still wet on the printed film. The image and film are then equally coated with the adhesive.
4 Cure Film
The ink is then cured in a heat press or preheated DTF curing oven to help it adhere to the DTF film. After which, the finished product is ready for transit or storage.
5 Send Back To You
Peel off the film sheet after applying the DTF print on the garment using a heat press.
We can handle your wholesale and bulk Direct to Film Printing needs to your exact specifications.

What Is Direct to Film (DTF) Printing?
Direct-to-Film printing, or DTF printing, makes use of a garment printer to produce film transfers that can subsequently be applied to a wide range of substrates using a heat-press mechanism. The Printer DTF method may be used on cotton and poly mixes, in contrast to the DTG process, which exclusively works on cotton materials.
How Does DTF Printing Work?
Direct-to-film (DTF) printing is a heat-transfer printing method. The process starts with printing images onto a transfer film, which is then coated with an adhesive powder and transferred to a substrate such as a fabric with a heat press.
The Coast Imagewear direct-to-film (DTF) solution provides excellent quality results by utilising garment printers that have been specifically created to operate with textile inks and garments, unlike other systems that employ a desktop inkjet printer meant for office paper printing.
Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfers may be used to design garments in colours including blue, green, red, and yellow as well as a wide variety of textiles (including polyester).
What Makes DTF Special?
- The ability to print on practically any surface is one of the main reasons why the DTF printer is gaining popularity. DTF printer technology enables you to print on cotton, polyester, synthetic, or silk with ease.
- Furthermore, DTF printers can print on both dark and white cloth.
- DTF produces sharp, distinct edges and pictures and doesn’t require pre-treatment, trimming, or weeding.
- Once properly applied, DTF has a soft feel, excellent elasticity, and is incredibly durable.
- In general, DTF materials, such as inks and transfer sheets, are less costly and wasteful than both eco-solvent print vinyl and white toner transfer technology supplies. The production of tens, hundreds, or even thousands of transfers is affordable and rapid.
