FAQ’s

DTF stands for Direct-to-Film — it’s a printing method where designs are printed onto a special film, coated with adhesive powder, and then heat-transferred onto fabric. It’s a popular alternative to DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing, especially for vibrant, durable prints on a wide variety of materials.

DTF software stands for Direct-to-Film printing software, and it’s a specialized type of RIP (Raster Image Processor) software designed specifically for the DTF printing process. It prepares digital artwork for optimal printing on a special film, which is later transferred onto fabric (usually cotton or polyester) using heat and adhesive powder.

A RIP software converts vector and raster images (like PDFs, PNGs, or AI files) into a format that a printer can understand — essentially “translating” digital design files into precise instructions for ink placement, color management, and print quality.

CADlink Technology, now operating as Fiery LLC (CADlink), is a Canadian software company based in Ottawa, Ontario. CADlink specializes in developing design and production software solutions tailored for various industries.
