This thermoplastic hot-melt powder forms the adhesive layer between the ink and the garment in DTF (direct-to-film) printing. It is applied to the wet ink on printed PET film, cured, and then melts under the heat press to bond the design to the fabric. It suits print shops and garment producers making custom T-shirts, hoodies, sportswear, tote bags, caps and promotional apparel.
For setup and maintenance tips, see our DTF printer care guide, or browse our DTF printers.
