DTF printing in Belgium: everything you need to know

DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is revolutionizing textile personalization in Belgium. Whether you're a business looking for uniforms, a sports club wanting to kit out your team, or a festival organizer, DTF offers unmatched quality and flexibility.

What is DTF Printing?

DTF (Direct-to-Film) is a modern textile printing technique that unfolds in three steps. First, your design is printed onto a special plastic film using water-based ink. Second, a heat-fusible powder is applied to the still-wet ink. Third, the film is heated to solidify the powder, then heat-transferred onto the fabric using a heat press.
