The quality of a DTF print depends as much on the printer and shaker as on the consumables used . Inks, films, and TPU powders all play a crucial role in the durability, elasticity, opacity, and sharpness of the final result. After hundreds of hours of in-house testing, Must Technologie presents its 2025 selection of the best DTF consumables, the same ones we use every day at imprimerondtf.com.
