DTF and textile printing from printer to heat press
Printers, heat presses and supplies for printing T-shirts, hoodies, bags and other textiles. We help you choose the technology and put together a kit for your workshop.
Technologies
DTF, DTG or sublimation?
Each technology has its own media and products. If in doubt, tell us what you will print and we will suggest the best fit.
Direct to film
DTF
The design is printed on a special film, coated with adhesive powder, cured and transferred to the product with a heat press. It works on fabrics and synthetics, and even on cardboard boxes.
Direct to garment
DTG
Direct digital printing on a finished garment, most often cotton. It takes three steps: pre-treatment, printing and curing with heat.
Dye sublimation
Sublimation
The design is printed on sublimation paper and transferred to the product with heat. In the Print School we show mugs, socks, flip-flops and aluminium plates.

Questions about textile printing
How is DTF different from DTG?
DTG prints straight onto the garment, which has to be pre-treated first. DTF prints onto a film and the design is transferred with a heat press, so it can also be used on synthetics and other materials.
Which heat press should I choose?
It depends on the products. Manual, swing-away or pneumatic presses suit flat textiles, large-format presses suit big pieces, and mugs, caps and balls have presses of their own.
Can you help us start a textile printing business?
Yes, it is one of the main things we do. We help you choose a kit and install it and train you on request, and the Print School has videos, for example on starting a T-shirt business at home with Secabo.
