How to Make £1,767 per hour with this DTF Printer

When it comes to team spirit, few products deliver more impact than a custom pennant.

Whether you’re supplying a school, a local sports club, or a merchandise brand, pennants are a high, margin, low, effort opportunity, especially with the DigitalHeat FX 24H2 Direct to Film (DTF) printer.

While most businesses that purchase a DTF printer are focused on custom apparel, like when we customised sublimated football kits, read about the here, for a local team, you can do so much MORE!

In a recent demo, Paul Burgess from YES Group showed just how fast and affordable it is to produce completely custom, full, colour pennants using the 24H2.

Here’s How to Make the DTF Transfers

The beauty of DTF printing lies in its simplicity. Paul walks through three key steps:

  1. Print the design onto DTF film using the DigitalHeat FX 24H2.
  2. Apply adhesive powder and cure it using the integrated shaker/dryer.
  3. Heat press the design onto a blank pennant.

No pre, treatment. No weeding. No wasted materials.
