DTF printing supplies are what every transfer uses up: ink, film, adhesive powder and the cleaning solution that keeps the printhead clear. Getting each one right for your printer keeps prints sharp, transfers bonded to the garment and the machine printing between jobs.
Shop DTF printing supplies by type
DTF ink and cleaning solution: ink has to match your printer's printhead and cartridge format, and white ink is the layer behind the color that keeps it bright on dark garments.
DTF film: hot, warm, cold and universal peel, on rolls or cut sheets, with the peel matched to how you press.
DTF powder and cleaning supplies: white hot melt for most work, plus black, flex and low migration grades for dark, stretch and polyester garments.
Keeping the printhead clear
Cleaning solution is matched to the printer the same way ink is. Alongside the everyday solution you'll find nozzle busting solution for clogs that have set in, and dummy cartridges with head wash that protect the head through storage or a long shutdown. Ink left sitting in a head is what kills printers, so it pays to have the right one on the shelf before you need it.
Matching supplies to your printer
Ink set, film type and powder grade all affect how a transfer washes and how it feels on the garment. Start with the ink your printhead and cartridge format call for, then pick the film peel that suits your press and the powder grade for the garments you print most. If you're not sure which combination fits your printer, call or chat with our team and we can confirm compatibility before you order.
