At Resolute DTF, we're committed to minimising our environmental impact and providing sustainable solutions for textile printing. Here's how Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing offers a significant advantage over traditional methods:

​

Reduced Waste:

• Unlike cut vinyl, large format printing, and white toner transfers, DTF uses minimal materials.

• The single film gets used efficiently, minimising waste compared to processes that generate leftover material like backing sheets and excess vinyl.

​​

Energy Efficiency:

• DTF eliminates the need for multiple printing steps like pre-treatment and screen creation, reducing overall energy consumption.

• Water-based inks require less energy for curing compared to solvent-based inks used in some other methods.

 

Eco-Friendly Inks:

• DTF inks are water-based and odorless, free of harmful chemicals commonly found in plastisol inks used in screen printing.

• We offer OEKO-TEX and REACH certified DTF consumables, ensuring responsible production and minimal environmental impact.

 

Sustainable Practices at Resolute:

• We're actively developing DTF film made from recycled materials to further reduce our footprint.

• A universal cleaning solution reduces the number of cleaning products needed for our Resolute DTF systems by 50%.

• We're transitioning our company vehicles to electric models and offer free EV charging for visitors.

• We use recycled paper for internal printing, minimising paper waste.
