DTF Bootcamp | April 25-26, 2024

This comprehensive 2-day training event is designed for those who are new to Direct to Film (DTF) printing and for those who want to take their DTF skills to the next level. Attendees will learn about the basics of DTF, including how it differs from other garment printing methods and the fundamentals of how it works.

The event will cover optimizing graphics for DTF, including best practices, halftone, color knock out, and how to vectorize images. Attendees will also have the opportunity to bring their own images they've had issues with and learn how to troubleshoot and solve common problems like banding, flooding, under-cured and over-cured prints, and pressing problems.

The program will also cover the use of RIP software and the printing process, including large and short runs, as well as pressing techniques. In addition, attendees will learn about running their DTF business, including garment selection, calculating pricing, and how to DTF on non-shirt items such as wood, shoes, backpacks, canvas, and tote bags.

This event is the ultimate DTF experience, providing attendees with hands-on training, expert instruction, and all the knowledge they need to master the art of Direct to Film printing.

Each Day will run from approximately 9am-5pm.  Lunch and snacks will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptop as this course is designed to be very interactive.
