The apparel industry thrives on customization, efficiency, and high-quality output. Traditional methods like screen printing, while effective, often come with limitations in terms of design complexity, turnaround times, and cost-effectiveness, especially for smaller runs. This is where Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing technology emerges as a revolutionary solution, and the KTM-1802 DTF printer stands at the forefront of this innovation.
Understanding DTF Printing
DTF printing is a heat transfer process that involves printing designs onto a special film, which is then coated with a powdered adhesive. The design is then transferred onto the fabric using a heat press, resulting in vibrant, full-color prints with excellent durability and washability.
