What defines DTF format printing systems?
A DTF format printing system prints individual sheets of transfer film in a fixed format and applies CMYK color as well as white ink in a single print pass. A suitable print format is decisive for an uncomplicated start without laborious roll management.
The typical setup of a DTF format printing system is clearly structured:
- Individual sheets of transfer film are loaded in a fixed format
- One print head applies CMYK color and white ink in one pass
- The printed sheet is then removed manually and processed further
- Color management and white underbase are controlled via the supplied software
DTF format printing systems thus ideally complement our roll printing systems and are a sensible foundation for our DTF films & foils range.
Why DTF format printing systems are indispensable
DTF format printing systems play an important role for a low-risk, compact start in DTF printing. Only with a suitable format can an operation be started without needing much space and with a manageable investment.
The most important advantages include:
- Compact space requirement: Significantly smaller footprint than a roll printing system
