Now that your order has been brought to our Ultra Color GFX department. It’s actually called DTF in the professional world and it stands for Direct To Film. We think it’s kind of a funny name so we gave it our own spin and call it Ultra Color GFX “short for graphic”. It truly is Ultra Color and you will be amazed. Back to our steps, your project is about to begin! First we ensure the design is in the correct color profile based on materials the DTF film will be applied to. Then, using a DTF printer, we print the design onto a special DTF film. The printer uses water-based inks, which are designed for transferring onto a polyester film. While the ink comes out of the printer it starts to gel and air dry just slightly. While the ink is still slightly wet, we apply a special adhesive powder to the film by sending it into a powder shaker that applies the powder to the film then shakes it off just perfectly so only the right amount of adhesive is left on the ink. This powder is required for the design adhere to the fabric. We heat the film with the powder to melt the adhesive, which bonds it to the ink. Don’t worry, we always ensure the garment or fabric is clean and prepped. Then we place the film with the printed design onto the fabric. We use a heat press to transfer the design from the film to the fabric. This process involves applying heat and pressure for a specific duration to ensure a strong bond. Next, we allow the fabric to cool down slightly, then carefully peel off the film to reveal the transferred design on the fabric. Finally, we check the quality of the print for any issues such as misalignment or incomplete transfers. Once it has passed the test, we print the rest of the apparel. We then fold, package, and prepare the finished garments or for delivery or pickup.
