Description

Taking the fast fashion on demand market by storm, the Direct-to-Film 24H2 transfer printer has a whopping machine output that is up to FIVE TIMES faster than DTG machines which cost thousands of dollars more.

The Raw Machine Output (RMO) on the DTF is what makes this new technology so revolutionary.

You can produce brilliant full-color prints:

On Virtually Any Garment
In Virtually Any Placement
Around 10 Seconds Press Time
Through dozens of wash cycles

How does a DTF Printer work?

The DTF-24H2 produces brilliant digital transfer sheets, handling everything from single color shirt labels to left chest logos to full-size prints. The DTF printer uses PET transfer film which is translucent so you can see the design underneath the film when you later heat-press it onto the garment.

The PET film has a thickness of around 0.75mm which allows for better transfer characteristics. The films used with the DTF-24H2 are both roll-fed and designed for a cold peel.

The powder adhesive coating is what gives DTF transfers their signature soft touch because it's moisture-seeking. It 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 fibers.

What can you print with the DTF-24H2?

**Our OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT Certified DigitalHeat FX DTF Inks help you comply with global safety regulations and supply chain requirements.

What should you purchase with your printer?

Heat Press Machine - You will want a 16" x 20" sized heat press. Our top four recommendations are:

ColDesiPRESS C20 Heat Press - Top Pick
Hotronix Fusion Professional Package - Best Deal
Hotronix Fusion Heat Press - Popular
Hotronix Auto Clam - Lowest Price

Can you use another brand/style of heat press you already own? Yes, just be careful of one very important thing: you need to have even heat and pressure across the entire platen.

Many 'knock off' heat presses save money in production by having a reduction in heating elements and limited quality control. We recommend the four above due to customers having the greatest success.

Finishing Sheets - Use these to add the final finish to your t-shirt. Once the print is on the garment, press one last time with a finishing sheet to get a nice finish that looks great on a shirt. (This is another product we have tested over and over again to find the perfect one.)
