Direct to film printers work by printing designs directly onto special films that can be transferred to various surfaces. The process usually includes the following steps:

• Design creation: The design is created on a computer using software and can be either a digital file or a scan of a physical image.
• Film preparation: The film is prepared by printing the design onto a special polyurethane material that is coated with a heat-sensitive adhesive. The film is then cut to size and placed on the printer platen.
• Printing: The DTF transfer printer prints the design onto the film using a special ink that is designed to adhere to the polyurethane material. The ink is typically cured with heat or UV light to ensure that it dries quickly and adheres well to the film.
• Film transfer: Once the design is printed, the film is peeled off the printer platen and placed onto the surface that will receive the print, such as a garment. The film is then heated and pressure is applied, which activates the adhesive and transfers the design onto the surface.
• Finishing: Once the design is transferred, the surface is typically heat-treated to ensure that the print is fully cured and durable. This can involve using a heat press or a special oven that cures the print at high temperatures.
