Direct-to-film (DTF) printing is a great way to print high-quality, vibrant prints on a variety of textiles. Whether you’re an entrepreneur launching a small business or a hobbyist making your own apparel, it’s important to choose the right DTF printer for your needs. To help you get started, we’ll go over what to look for in the best beginner-friendly printers and explain why our Procolored stands out as the right brand for DTF printing.

What Is DTF Printing?

Direct-to-film printing is a process for printing on textiles where you first print on a special transfer film before using a heat press to apply the design to a garment. Unlike Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, which typically works best on cotton, DTF printing allows you to print on a wider variety of materials, such as polyester, denim, nylon, and even leather.
