DTF Printing: Vivid Color On Any Fabric
Direct-to-film (DTF) printing is one of the newest garment-printing solutions: the design is first printed onto a special film with high-density ink, then heat-transferred straight onto the fabric. The result is vivid, consistent color, fine detail even in multi-color or gradient designs, and a flexible finish that doesn't crack with washing. At Brands Factory we use high-quality DTF inks and printers to guarantee prints that last on every fabric type, on both dark and light colors alike.
