What is a DTF printer?

A DTF printer (Direct to Film printer) prints designs onto a special PET film. The print is coated with hot‑melt powder and transferred to fabric using a heat press. Unlike sublimation, DTF printing works on cotton, polyester, blends, and even dark garments, producing vibrant and durable results.

How much does a DTF printer cost in the UK?

The cost depends on size and configuration. Entry‑level 30cm Keditec by DTF.UK printers with 2 heads are a cost‑effective way to start, while professional 60cm to 120cm Pro models with 6 heads and 13‑colour systems are built for high‑volume production. For the latest prices, contact DTF.UK.

Are DTF printers worth it?

Yes. A DTF printer is one of the most versatile and profitable printing solutions available. With a Keditec by DTF.UK machine, you can print on a wide range of fabrics without pre‑treatments. Combined with DTF.UK inks, films, and powders, you’ll get high‑quality prints that last.

What’s the difference between a DTF printer and a UV DTF printer?

A DTF printer is used for fabric transfers such as T‑shirts, hoodies, and sportswear. A UV DTF printer, also available from DTF.UK, prints transfers for hard surfaces like bottles, mugs, glass, wood, and metal. For larger rigid items, our UV DTF Flatbed Printers provide direct, durable printing.

Can I use an Epson printer for DTF printing?

Yes. Keditec by DTF.UK printers are powered by Epson i1600 and Epson i3200 print heads for exceptional accuracy, speed, and reliability. These are professional‑grade machines designed specifically for DTF, unlike converted home printers.

How do I clean a DTF printer head?

Our Keditec by DTF.UK printers feature automatic print head cleaning systems to keep nozzles clear and ink flowing. This reduces downtime and ensures long‑term performance. Your DTF.UK technician will also provide full training on routine maintenance.

Is a DTF printer better than sublimation?

For versatility, yes. While sublimation is limited to light‑coloured polyester, a DTF printer from DTF.UK can print onto cotton, polyester, blends, and dark fabrics with no pre‑coating. It’s ideal for growing print businesses wanting more flexibility.

What size DTF printer should I choose?

  • 30cm or 42cm: Perfect for start‑ups or small spaces

  • 60cm: A commercial favourite, balancing speed and footprint

  • 80cm & 120cm: Industrial models for high‑volume production

    Your DTF.UK technician can advise the best option for your needs.

Gang Sheet vs. DTF Transfers By Size

When choosing a DTF printing method, it's important to understand the difference between Gang Sheets and By Size transfers.

Gang Sheet 🖼️

✔ Multiple designs of various sizes on a single sheet.
✔ Optimises space & reduces costs by combining designs in one order.
✔ Ideal for custom projects with multiple images or varying sizes.

By Size 🎯

✔ A single design per sheet, printed to a specific size.
✔ Perfect for bulk orders where one design is needed on multiple garments.
✔ Ensures consistent sizing across all prints.

Which one is right for you? 🤔
If you need flexibility and efficiency, Gang Sheets are the way to go. If your project requires consistent, single-size prints, By Size is the best option. Choose what works best for your needs! 🚀

How to Store DTF Transfers Properly

To keep your DTF transfers in perfect condition until you're ready to use them, follow these simple storage tips:

✅ Keep in a Dry, Clean Space

Store in a dust-free environment to prevent moisture or dirt from affecting the adhesive or print.

🌑 Avoid Direct Sunlight & Heat

Excessive heat or UV exposure can fade colours and weaken the adhesive. Store in a cool, dark place.

🛡️ Protect from Dust & Debris

If not using immediately, cover with protective paper or keep in the original packaging.

🚫 Prevent Unnecessary Pressure

Do not stack heavy objects on top, as this can damage the designs or compromise adhesion.

By storing your DTF Gang Sheets properly, you'll ensure long-lasting quality and hassle-free application when you're ready to press! 🎨🔥

How to Store Your Gang Sheet: Flat, Rolled, or Folded?

❌ Folding – Not recommended! Folding can damage prints and adhesive, especially along creases, affecting transfer quality.

⚠️ Rolling – While convenient, rolling can create pressure marks or wrinkles, potentially affecting adhesion and print quality.

✅ Store Flat – The best option! Keeping your Gang Sheet flat prevents distortions, ensuring perfect transfers when applied.

For best results, store your Gang Sheets flat in a dry, dust-free place, away from heat and direct sunlight. 🌟

Compatible Materials:

✔ Clothing – T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, sweatpants, caps.
