“Other films can be used but the performance will be affected.” Resolute’s own film is recommended as it “is profiled and is unique to its durability in the wash,” Marsh says. With a gamut range twice that of traditional DTG inks the colours produced are not only vibrant but also accurate.” “The key to the product’s success is the combination of high-quality film coating that reacts with the ink and adhesive during curing. Marsh says: “The Resolute Premium DTF ink is a water-based hybrid ink, pigmented but with the characteristics of latex for durability and softness.” These produce vibrant prints with excellent stretch and durability in the wash, he says. Small images can be ganged and cut for individual application. The film images are then transferred to the substrate using a standard heat press, usually taking 15 seconds at 130-165☌. After printing the film and semi-cured ink is fed to an inline finishing unit that applies a heat-activated adhesive powder to the ink, which is then finally heat cured.

It just takes 15 minutes to warm up in the morning. Zar Ali, production manager, says: “The film transfer gives a really nice clean finish, unlike DTG where if the fibres are rough they spoil the quality and you have to keep cleaning the printheads. The first user was Identity Printing in Manchester, which already had three Ricoh DTG inkjets from Resolute. It has a smaller footprint than an automatic carousel and requires only one person to run it.”
It is also very popular with screen printers as there is no pre-treatment required. Resolute founder Colin Marsh says: “The system outperforms conventional DTG printing, sublimation, white toner and print-and-cut methods in both speed and costs. It’s being promoted as an alternative to existing DTG technologies. It was officially launched in February this year after field testing during 2020. When was it launched and what’s the target market?
It can also be used to decorate hard substrates, packaging and promotional items – where a product can be placed under a heat press. It’s suited to cotton, polyester, high-viz, workwear and sportswear.
