Roland DG announces new TY-300 DTF printer

Roland DG Corporation has announced a new TY-300 direct-to-film (DTF) production transfer printer. The new DTF printer is designed and engineered specifically for the decorated apparel market and more. The DTF transfer method is still a relatively new, but growing, method to create custom T-shirts, fabric items, and sportswear. After printing on a special film, hot-melt powder is applied and thermally melted, before the film is simply layered on fabric and heat-pressed. This method is becoming very popular because it can accommodate complex designs, without weeding, and can transfer to a wide range of materials including cotton, polyester, cotton polyester, denim, nylon, and rayon, as well as dark and light coloured materials.
