DIRECT-TO-FILM PRINTING www.images-magazine.com 54 images OCTOBER 2026 Brother: DTRX & GTX300 “DTF is now well established in the garment printing industry, offering flexibility across different fabrics and applications,” says machine manufacturer Brother. “With growing demand for larger production volumes, reliable and consistent solutions are becoming increasingly important.” Designed for long print runs and high-volume DTF production, Brother’s DTRX focuses on stable, repeatable results. Its industrial design is built for continuous production, with a strong focus on consistent colours and high white-ink opacity. “By integrating printing, powder application and curing into one workflow, the DTRX provides an efficient solution for businesses looking to produce large quantities of DTF transfers with reliable quality throughout the entire run,” explains the company. For businesses that need greater versatility, Brother introduces the GTX300, a brand-new hybrid system combining direct-to-garment (DTG) and DTF in one machine. Featuring an industrial design, small footprint and low-maintenance operation, the GTX300 is designed to deliver maximum flexibility without taking up unnecessary production space. Depending on the application, users can choose between DTG and DTF on the same platform. DTG offers a soft hand-feel and direct printing, while DTF provides greater flexibility across different materials. The GTX300 combines both technologies in one solution – giving printers the freedom to choose the right process for every job. David Sharp: DTF Consumables & Trade Transfer Service David Sharp says it is on a mission “to empower customers by providing the highest quality at the lowest price available”. The company has just entered the DTF consumables market with a clear brief: “Provide consumables at a price that allows a much greater profit margin for the customer while maintaining only the best quality!” The all-new consumables range is available now and covers everything a DTF print house requires: DTF inks, adhesive powder, and hot peel antistatic film rolls in varying sizes, plus free advice. “The 60cm x 100cm film roll is an amazing £49.50!” reports David Sharp, “with discounts available for volume. “Now, more than ever, print shops need to win extra margin wherever they can, and they also need to offer the best quality possible. This is the whole ethos behind the new consumables range. Only the highest quality, for the lowest possible cost!” The new range sits alongside David Sharp’s existing DTF transfer printing service, which it says offers “exceptional quality for prices that allow our customers to take most of the cake. “Always hot peel, always the most vibrant colours and the sharpest prints. Stretchy subtle prints that last the lifetime of the garment.” What’s more, any DTF consumable customers benefit from a more favourable rate for DTF transfer printing when they require it for holiday cover or machine downtime. “So you can always offer your customer the best quality knowing you are fully supported,” the company concludes.
