The landscape of textile printing is undergoing a significant transformation with the advent of Direct-to-Film (DTF) technology. Offering a versatile, efficient, and high-quality alternative to traditional methods like screen printing and direct-to-garment (DTG), DTF printing has rapidly gained traction across various segments of the apparel decoration industry. At the forefront of this revolution is the KTM-1802, a 1.8-meter, two-head DTF printer designed to deliver exceptional performance and meet the evolving needs of modern print businesses.
Advantages of DTF Printing:
