The textile printing industry is undergoing a significant transformation with the advent of Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing technology. Offering a compelling blend of quality, affordability, and versatility, DTF printing is rapidly gaining traction as a viable alternative to traditional methods like screen printing and direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. Kenteer, a leading name in digital printing solutions, introduces the KTM-A10 DTF Printer – a game-changer designed to empower businesses with cutting-edge printing capabilities.
DTF Printing: A Paradigm Shift in Textile Printing
Unlike conventional methods, DTF printing eliminates the need for pre-treatment of fabrics, making it suitable for a wider range of materials, including cotton, polyester, blends, and even leather. The process involves printing designs onto a special PET film using water-based pigment inks. A white ink layer is printed first, followed by colored inks, resulting in vibrant, high-resolution graphics. The printed design is then sprinkled with a hot-melt powder, cured, and transferred onto the fabric using a heat press.

Comparing DTF Printing with Other Technologies:
While DTG printing offers direct-to-garment printing, it often requires pre-treatment and may not be suitable for all fabric types. Screen printing, on the other hand, involves a more complex setup and can be less cost-effective for small batches or intricate designs. DTF printing bridges this gap, offering a versatile and efficient solution for a wide range of applications.
