DTF Printers, Direct to Film Printers
Direct to Film (DTF) Printers have quickly become one of the most reliable ways to create vibrant, ready-to-apply transfers for t-shirts and other garments. The process is designed for both new start-ups and established print shops, combining full-colour detail with the flexibility to decorate almost any type of fabric.
Unlike older transfer methods, DTF delivers consistency at volume—whether you’re producing short runs or larger batches. The technology is valued across the UK custom apparel industry for its balance of speed, quality, and durability.
At YES Group, you’ll find a complete range of DTF printer models to match your production needs. From compact units ideal for new businesses to high-output systems suited for commercial shops, each machine is supported with training and service from our UK team.
Explore the options below to discover which DTF printer best fits your workflow.
The advantages of DTF technology make it the go-to choice for garment decorators:
Outstanding durability – Transfers withstand wash after wash, with a finish that holds up like traditional screen printing.
Built-in stretch – Designs move with the fabric and recover their shape perfectly, keeping garments comfortable and long-lasting.
Works on almost any fabric – From cotton and polyester to blends and performance wear, DTF transfers apply to around 99% of textiles.
Fast press times – Transfers can be applied in as little as 8 seconds, keeping production lines efficient.
High-volume output – Depending on the printer, you can create between 100–300 full-size transfers per hour, with advanced systems like the DTF-24/H4 producing up to 41 metres of film every hour.
Print vivid, long-lasting designs on virtually any garment, in any location, with minimal effort. DTF gives you speed, flexibility, and quality in one powerful process.

The Secret to Custom DTF Transfer Prints
It’s the unique powder adhesive coating that gives DTF prints their signature soft touch.
The secret behind DTF’s long-lasting colour and clarity lies in the way each element works together — specially formulated inks, precision-coated transfer films, and a fine adhesive powder that bonds everything securely to the fabric.
Unlike bulky vinyl or older transfer sheets, DTF creates a lightweight layer that feels soft to the touch. It delivers what decorators have always wanted: the smooth, flexible finish of half-tone screen printing, but in a transfer method that works on nearly any garment.
With DTF, you get durability, vibrancy, and that coveted “soft hand” — all in one process.
How DTF Direct to Film Printing Works
So The Glue draws itself into the ink of the print and chemically bonds to form a strong permanent adhesive that sticks extremely strong to both cotton and polyester fibres.
