- How It Works | Printing DTF Transfers | DTF-24H2
DTF Printing is the newest and hottest way to make custom t-shirt transfers.
Direct to Film Printers (DTF Printers) are t-shirt TRANSFER printers
DTF Printers use liquid inks instead of toners or screen print inks (all 3 are vastly different). They appeal to larger custom t-shirt and on-demand personalization businesses.
Commercial DTF Printers are Key.
All of the comparison numbers and convenience of mass-producing dtf transfers are in the high-volume machines.
Single sheet, aftermarket manufactured style dtf systems are far less efficient and have more steps.
There are a few reasons for that:
An Epson color printer converted to be a direct to film machine still prints 1 sheet at a time.
That’s inherently slower than printing on a 24” roll. A commercial printer is inherently faster.
And obviously, buying dtf film one sheet at a time is much more expensive per square inch.
That Epson based dtf printer requires an extra step.
ColDesi’s direct to film printer applies the adhesive powder to the film automatically. It’s built into the dryer part of the print process.

A converted printer requires you to print the transfer, then apply the powder manually. Kind of a “shake and bake” method where you pour the powder onto the film and spread it around to make sure you have good coverage.
Automatics application of the powder is consistent and even. Manual is not, so you may not get the same performance every time.
White toner printing is another popular way to make custom t-shirts. You can learn more about the similarities and differences in these two methods here: • Comparing White Toner ...
These DTF transfers also adhere to tons of different materials. In this video you can see us heat pressing transfers onto cotton, polyester, white and black.

I would love this, would make life so much easier.
Nice Show. Exactly and professional.
i am a dtf enthuses and i am high as a kite and loving your vid
This is definitely something I would need, if you guys made a tutorial on the software side of this and if that is as smooth as this machine I’m sold!
Good
Vraiment génial ! J'aimerais une explication sur les boutons de fours Monsieur ingénieur.
This is incredible I do DTF myself and I love it
Looking for something like this for our new business 🤩 just wish it was a bit cheaper 🥴
As a screen printer I love the concept and would love to get a machine like that but afraid to because of all the maintenance issues and problems with clogging of print heads and the settling of the white inks, how does your machines fare pertaining to those issues?
how good is this at matching pantones? especially for your more vibrant reds and yellows on a dark base?
Hi sir
What is the temperature do you program the dryer to be on when transfers go through?
I have a Roland VG540 right now but I do mostly T shirts so now I am looking at one of these DTF printers. The issue I see but haven't found a direct answer to is that you would be hindered to do a small run of shirts it seems. Essentially you cant get your prints off of the printer until it runs all the way through the dryer with the powder. How much waste do you realistically have if you aren't printing 24/7. Suppose you only needed to do 12-15 shirts with a fairly quick turnaround, do you just run the film into the dryer and waste it or can you cut it?
These printers are available at your Tampa location?
What type of ink is used? And type of environment required to keep the equipment in? Warehouse/ garage type okay?
hows the longevity of it of 50/50 cotton poly blends? Will if fade/peel?
Thinking about purchasing this printer. Only one question. If I want to only print 3 copies, can you cut it off by hand at the printer and hand feed it into dryer? I don't want to waste what looks like 6 feet of transfer for only only 24 inches of film.
What does the maintenance look like for this machine?
