DTF Printer Support

Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is a powerful add-on for screen printing shops that want to take on short runs, full-color artwork, and fast-turn personalization without slowing down press production. By printing designs onto film and heat-applying them to garments, DTF works across cotton, blends, and synthetics while reducing setup time and labor. This post explains how DTF fits into existing workflows, what’s needed to bring it in-house, how to prep artwork for consistent results, and the types of customers and markets where DTF can help you grow quickly.

This blog post will guide you through the steps to efficiently handle and dispose of the waste ink, ensuring the smooth functioning of your printer.
