Do you regularly print your designs on textiles? Are you launching your ready-to-wear brand and want your clothes to carry your brand name?

In this article, we will present the advantages of outsourcing your screen print transfers, also called DTF (Direct to Film) media, to us. Time savings, professional quality, cost reduction—these are the main reasons that should convince you to outsource the printing of your DTF transfers.

What is DTF printing?

DTF printing, or Direct to Film printing, is an innovative marking process that could be translated as "printing on transfer film." This process allows high-resolution visuals to be printed on textiles. At the crossroads between screen printing and flocking (which gives a "plasticized" look to the textile), DTF printing combines print quality and smoothness in marking.

The DTF marking process is based on digitally printing a visual onto a PET film. The DTF printer first prints a layer of colors on the PET film, then adds a uniform white layer on top.

Once the printing is done, a layer of hot-melt adhesive powder is applied to the screen print transfer, then the media is dried in an oven for a few seconds.

At the end of the process, the DTF transfer is ready to be printed onto the textile using a high-temperature press.

Why outsource the printing of your DTF transfers?

Professional quality: By working with a specialist like Coque-sublimation.fr, you benefit from professional print quality. The machines used are often high-tech and well-maintained, ensuring a superior result compared to what could be achieved with less specialized equipment.

Time savings: DTF printing can be a complex and time-consuming process, especially if you lack the necessary equipment and expertise in-house. Outsourcing this task frees up time to focus on other aspects of your business, such as product development, marketing, or sales.

Cost reduction: The initial investment for high-quality DTF printing equipment can be very high; a DTF printer costs over 40,000 euros, not including training, maintenance, and upkeep expenses. By outsourcing the printing of your DTF media, you avoid this investment while benefiting from the economies of scale achieved by suppliers who print in large quantities.

Flexibility and adaptability: Coque-sublimation.fr can offer a wide variety of media and print formats. This gives you the flexibility to meet your clients' specific requests while simplifying stock management.

Production speed: We have optimized production lines to process orders quickly. When you place an order with us, your DTF transfers are ready within 48 hours. This can be crucial if you need to respond quickly to market demands or your clients' custom orders.
