DTF2U.com will sponsor the direct-to-film (DTF) area of the hands-on Apparel Zone at the Printing UNITED Expo, to be held October 19-21, 2022, in Las Vegas.

“The concept of the Apparel Zone is that it’s intended to be a very educational, hands-on approach,” says Matt Gusse, founder of DTF2U.com. “It’s made up of several areas covering all of the apparel decorating processes, and DTF2U is managing the DTF portion. We will be working alongside sponsors Kodak, CADlink/EFI, and Hotronix.

“We will be running CADlink Digital factory RIP software and have CADlink/EFI and Kodak personnel who will be working with us,” he adds. “We’ll be running Kodak’s new Kodacolor consumable solution, which means we’ll be using their film, ink, and powder on our MACH IV branded machine. Our core press partner, Hotronix, will be providing the heat press machines. We want the attendees to move everything from the keyboard to applying the transfer; scratch, sniff, feel, and maybe even go through some of the maintenance procedures on the equipment.”

In this specific hands-on experience, DTF2U.com will showcase an all-inclusive printing and cutting solution — the first time in North America that decorators will see a printing and finishing solution for DTF transfers, Gusse says. “We’re bringing a DTF printer, Hotronix heat presses, and a brand-new laser that will be cutting printed transfers in line to show an automated cutting solution.” The DTF2U MACH IV printer prints with four heads. It’s a 4′ machine paired with the laser so we can print and cut wide, he adds.

The Apparel Zone is located in the Central Hall in booth C8915. DTF2U.com’s exhibit booth also is located in the Central Hall in C11212. DTF2U.com is a premier provider of direct-to-film solutions and services for the textile, promotional products, printers, sign, and display industries.

DTF2U.com is headquartered in East Peoria, Illinois, and has a satellite office in Lakeland, Florida.
