Find the right DTF Transfer Printer & Solution
The DTF Printer is also referred to as “Direct To Film Printing,” and it works by printing transfer films that are heat pressed onto a variety of garments (and other substrates). Unlike DTG printing which works only on cotton fabrics, sublimation printing works only on polyester fabrics, DTF printing solution is widely applied to cotton, polyester, nylon, canvas, denim and more.
high resolution output
When printing complex artworks or trademarks with thin lines, the design details can be accurately reproduced, making the pattern edges smooth and the color transitions natural.
Wide range of colors
DTF's advanced ink formulation and color management system can better match color standards such as Pantone, whether it is a bright solid color or a soft gradual change of color, can be well presented.
Good flexibility & adhesion
When the fabric is stretched or bent, the pattern does not break or peel easily. After proper curing treatment, it can still maintain good integrity even after multiple washes.
The current keditec printers already support 17 color numbers.
Keditec has the latest color management system in the whole industry, and the new technology makes it easy for us to achieve the RAL design system, NCS color card, and PANTONE color card system.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your question is not listed below, feel free to contact us at any time. We will address your issue once we receive it.
Q : What is a DTF transfer printing technology？
A : DTF printing technology, also known as hot powder heat transfer printing technology, is a technical concept initially proposed in the field of digital printing around 2000. It existed in conceptual and experimental forms in the early stage. A mature commercial solution was officially developed and launched by Chinese enterprises in 2018, and large-scale application was achieved in 2019. With advantages such as wide applicability to fabrics, bright colors, and no need for ready-made garment pretreatment, it has rapidly become a mainstream custom printing process.
Q : What is a DTF transfer printer?
A: DTF printing is also known as direct-to-film printing. As the name suggests, a direct-to-film printer can print patterns onto a film material, which is then directly transferred onto the surface of the target substrate, such as fabric. The key reason why DTF printers are gaining increasing attention is that they allow you to freely choose almost any material for printing.。
Q : What is a DTF Printing Solutions
A : As one of the first manufacturers to develop DTF printing technology, Keditec is committed to helping our customers propose and apply more solutions. We have mature commercial cases in various fields and have incubated 20 brands. For more solutions, please contact our technical sales representatives.
Q : DTF Printer vs. DTG, which is better?
- DTF printing is more durable.
- DTF printers transfer designs onto garments via a special film, while DTG printers print directly onto the fabric.
- DTG printers are best for natural fibers, while DTF printers can print on a wider range of materials.
- DTF printers generally produce more vibrant colors on dark fabrics, but DTG printers are faster for individual garments.
Q : What are the differences between UV DTF printers and DTF printers?
- Similarities: Both DTF printers and UV DTF printers require patterns to be printed onto PET film first before being transferred onto the surface of the substrate.
- Differences: The type of ink used by UV DTF printers is different from that of DTF printers. Unlike DTF printers, UV DTF printers adopt UV ink.
