DTF Defined: All About Direct - to - Film Printing

Direct-to-Film printing, otherwise known as DTF printing, is a method of adding colorful images or designs to fabric. Rather than printing the design straight onto the cloth, it starts on a special film. Afterward, the ink on the film is transferred to the fabric by heat and pressure. It is a popular method because it works on a wide variety of materials, such as cotton, polyester and blends. DTF printing is the crystal clear, detailed images which last long even after several washes. We use this technology a ton at Sunika because it allows us to get great prints out as fast as possible. It’s also excellent for placing small or large orders, without sacrificing color and sharpness. And, dtf machine requires no pretreatment on the fabric, saving time and money. 

Finding Good DTF Printing Services for Bulk Buying 

It can be difficult finding quality DTF printing services for large order quantities. Many instead can claim they offer dtf printing, but not all of them can produce the quality (and quantities) you need for your wholesale purchase. Here at Sunika, we specialize in providing reliable DTF printing systems that can do high volume without compromising print quality. If you’re picking a service, you need to see how good prints it produces. Some places have lower quality inks or film that can fade, or even crack after washing. Sunika’s printing is made through special inks and films to keep colors bright and designs sharp. Also make sure that the printing service can accommodate various types of fabrics, as some might not work well on anything but cotton or polyester. One other thing worth mentioning is the speed of the service. For wholesale orders, you often need to work fast and make no mistakes. Sunika’s system, by contrast, is designed to churn out thousands of prints in rapid succession, and have them all look about the same. Occasionally, companies don’t make their process understandable or try to obscure extra costs. It’s more effective to work with a company like Sunika that is transparent about prices and timing. You also want to be confident that the company will back up reorders if you need more prints at a later time. Good customer support is important too, since questions or problems may arise. When it comes to selecting a printing service, it’s not just price that matters but trust as well as quality. When you work with Sunika, you're partnering up with a wholesale DTF printing company that knows the pressing demands (they are never "just" orders) of your clients and works hard to make sure each order is done right and on time. 

How To Select The Quality DTF Film and Ink To Meet Yours Large production? 

For big production runs, choosing the right film and ink is crucial. When you print thousands of items, not all films and inks fare well. At Sunika, we learned that lesson the hard way. There are some films that look good initially, but they don’t adhere well or begin to peel after a couple of washings. Others could make colors appear dulled or not align with the original design. One thing that you may need to keep in mind when selecting DTF film is the thickness. Thicker films will be more heat press and not tear as easily when being produced. Sunika prints on films that have the perfect combination of both strength and flexibility, so that your prints last longer and feel great on fabric. Ink quality matters, too. The cheapest inks may clog printers or deteriorate rapidly. Sunika's inks are formulated to last bright and keep their fine details, even on the roughest of fabric types. Another consideration is the use of adhesive powder in dtf printing equipment. This is the powder that makes the ink stick on to the fabric, and needs to dissolve properly in order for you not to feel anything when guest use heat press. Print can crack or peel if it’s too heavy or light. Last, but certainly not least, you want uniformity for mass production. Each batch of film, ink and powder should feel the same. Sunika samples all materials before beginning large jobs, to avoid any surprises. The heat pressing temperature and time are relevant too, since different films and inks required different settings. Before running the big run, a few test prints help catch problems early. It can feel overwhelming to keep track of all these moving parts, but you get the hang of it with time. Sunika’s team knows how to pick the best combinations, eliminating waste and saving money all while creating prints that customers will love. This careful selection is all that separates a product that sells from one that gets returned.  

DTF Printing Common Problems And How Wholesale Buyers Can Avoid Them

Whether you buy supplies, like DTF printing ink, in bulk or just have a lot of items on hand that need to be properly maintained and operated, it’s important to know what the common issues are and how to prevent them.

At Sunika we take pride in our products and use high quality ink and film that makes your colors pop and shine! If you are buying in quantity, be sure to verify that the source tests its supplies before they are sold. Another problem is the design adhering to and then cracking or peeling off during washing. This is likely to occur if the print hasn’t been heat set or applied well enough to the fabric.
