DTF-S05 DTF Transfer Film

First, What is DTF Transfer Film？

DTF Transfer Film (Direct-to-Film Transfer Film) is a multilayer special film designed for the digital direct printing process. The core technology is to print the pattern directly on PET film and then transfer the pattern to the target material (e.g. textile, plastic, metal, etc.) by hot pressing.

• Process flow: pattern design → film printing → shaking powder curing → thermal transfer to target → cooling molding.
• Multi-layer structure: usually consists of base layer, release layer, adhesive layer, printing layer, protective layer and anti-static layer to ensure transfer effect and durability.

Second, Main features:

1. Surface Treatment:
   • Single-sided: Back coated with a glossy finish.
   • Double-sided: Back coated with a matte finish.
2. Printing Performance:
   • Vibrant colors deliver outstanding visual effects.
   • Clean powder shaking, ensuring clear patterns without impurities.
   • Instant peeling with no pressure, making operation simple and fast.
3. Versatility:
   • Suitable for various materials, with no fabric limitations.
   • Compatible with both cold and hot peeling, adapting to different working environments.
   • High ink absorption, ensuring rich and long-lasting colors.
4. Ink Compatibility:
   • Wide ink compatibility, supporting multiple ink types.
5. Operational Performance:
   • Anti-stick and anti-static features ensure smooth operation without misalignment.

Third, Core Features and Benefits：

1. Excellent printing effect

• Bright colors, high color retention, support for high-precision complex patterns (resolution up to 1200 dpi).
• After transferring the soft feel of the pattern, color saturation is close to screen printing and 30%-50% softer than the traditional film.

2. Wide material adaptability

• Textile: Compatible with cotton, polyester, nylon, blended fabrics and leather.
• Non-textile: can be transferred to glass, metal, ceramics, cell phone cases, game consoles and other shaped materials.

3. Efficient and flexible

• Small batch friendly: no need for plate making, support single piece printing, suitable for personalization.
• Fast production speed: integrated printing, powder shaking and baking functions to shorten the delivery cycle.

4. Environmental Advantages

• Water-based ink: low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions, in line with EU environmental standards.
• Low waste film rate: digital cutting reduces material waste, and waste film can be recycled and disposed of.
  5. Strong durability
• Patterns are cured by hot pressing, are resistant to washing, abrasion and cracking, and can withstand more than 50 times of machine washes.

Fourth, the typical Application Scene of the DTF transfer film

1. Clothing industry: T-shirts, sweatshirts, sportswear, hats, canvas shoes and other personalized printing.
2. Electronic products: cell phone cases, headset cases, gamepads, keyboard keycaps 3D pattern transfer.
3. Industrial products: ceramic cups, metal tags, plastic toys, car interior parts of the pattern transfer.
4. Advertising & Decoration: On-demand production of exhibition banners, interior decorative paintings, and promotional gifts (e.g. mugs, pillows).
