Epson direct-to-film printing — fast & flexible

Direct-to-film (DTFilm) is an innovative method for customising clothing and accessories, allowing for the application of graphics and text on a wide range of items, such as shirts, pants, jackets, vests, belts and more. It offers greater workflow flexibility as artwork can be prepared in advance and applied to garments as needed. While similar to direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, the DTFilm process requires no pretreatment and can be produced on a broader range of materials, including synthetic fibres.
