How to Use Platonink 5-Head DTF Printer
- Ensure you have the correct power (220V) and sufficient space.

- Create your artwork (PNG format) and load the PET film with the printable side facing correctly. Fill the CMYK and white ink tanks and run a quick nozzle check.
- Send your file through RIP software. The printer first lays down color, then the white layer for opacity.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
1. What is DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing?
DTF is a printing method where designs are printed on a special film and then transferred onto fabric using heat and pressure. It works on cotton, polyester, blends, and more — without the need for weeding or pretreatment.
2. Are your transfers ready to press?
Yes! All our DTF transfers arrive pre-printed and ready to press. Just place the transfer on your garment, use a heat press, peel, and you're done.
3. What fabrics can I use your DTF transfers on?
Our transfers work on a wide variety of fabrics including 100% cotton, polyester, cotton/poly blends, canvas, and more.
4. How should I care for garments with DTF prints?
Wash inside-out in cold water and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid bleach and do not iron directly on the print for long-lasting results.
