Brother DTF
Brother takes on DTF printing, or Direct to Film, with the DTRX100. Four print heads, automated white ink management, roll-to-roll operation up to 80 cm wide: Brother DTF is built for continuous production. Many DTG shops, already running Brother GTX Pro or GTX Pro Bulk printers, are now moving into DTF to meet new production needs. With Brother's DTF solution, it's the same brand, and the same trust.
For professional production environments, machine performance is only part of the equation. Consistent results also depend on the quality of the consumables used and on regular maintenance of the printing system.
A neglected ink circuit or a worn part can ruin an entire batch of DTF transfers. Good ink and regular maintenance prevent that kind of setback, right through to the choice of film and adhesive powder further down the line.
Brother DTRX Inks
Brother DTF inks are OEM inks, developed specifically for the Brother DTRX100 printer. Water-based pigment inks, available in cyan, magenta, yellow, black and white. Each colour comes in a 700ml pouch, with white supplied as a double pouch to keep up with demand. This range carries the DTR1 reference.
On white ink, Brother draws on years of experience in textile printing, one of the trickiest points to get right in DTF.
White ink makes all the difference in DTF: it lays the base for the design before the colours go down, and it shows immediately once the transfer is pressed onto dark fabric. An uneven layer, and the final result gives it away straight away.
Certified with OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT and GOTS by Ecocert Greenlife, and CPSIA compliant for children's apparel.
Cleaning and Maintenance for Brother DTRX
The DTRX100 has an automated maintenance station that keeps the wet caps in good condition and protects the print heads. Supplied in a 4-litre container, the WC1-40E solution works as a soak cleaner for maintaining the Brother DTF printer.
A clogged ink circuit quickly leads to partially blocked nozzles, uneven prints or duller colours. Regular maintenance limits these issues and reduces the risk of unplanned production downtime.
Spare Parts for Brother DTRX
Like any professional DTF printer, the DTRX100 puts certain parts under strain as production volume increases. Print heads deliver print precision, dampers regulate ink pressure before ejection, filters catch impurities, and caps protect the nozzles when the machine is idle. The wiper cleans the heads on every pass.
These are the Brother DTF spare parts most exposed to wear. Some are available through Manutech-Print depending on current catalogue references, alongside other Brother DTF consumables.
Film, Powder and Complementary Solutions for DTF Production
DTF film makes the difference between a clean transfer and a rough one. Available up to 80cm wide, it covers most production formats for textile personalisation. Its hot peel quality allows a clean peel straight off the press, with no need to wait for cooling. Compatible with most DTF inks on the market, it equips a production line without pushing up costs.
Next comes hot melt DTF powder, which bonds the transfer to the fabric. Poorly dosed or poorly applied, it can ruin an otherwise perfectly printed design. Choosing the right powder matters just as much as choosing the right ink, particularly on dark or technical fabrics where adhesion is less forgiving.
For everyday upkeep, Ultra Cleaning and Extreme Cleaning cover the cleaning needs of DTF printers, whatever the brand. This range isn't limited to Brother DTRX100 users, it fits any workshop running Direct to Film printing.
Brother DTF's Reliability in Production
The DTRX100's industrial print heads draw on years of Brother expertise in white textile ink, a technical point widely regarded as one of the hardest to get right in DTF printing. The ink circuit and maintenance station follow the same logic: keeping manual intervention to a minimum, even across long production runs.
Oversized dampers and an internal ventilation system maintain print quality during continuous production, without affecting output consistency. The piezo technology used in the print heads allows for a steadier ink flow throughout the run.
On a Brother DTF line, that kind of consistency has a direct impact on the final result: a clean transfer, with no visible colour shift from one pass to the next. To compare with other models on the market or complete your setup, browse our range of DTF printers and DTF accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions about Brother DTF
Integrating a professional DTF solution raises questions about workflow, consumables and production organisation. This FAQ answers the most common questions about the Brother DTF ecosystem and the Brother DTRX100.
What's the difference between a DTG and a DTF workflow with a Brother DTRX100?
DTG prints directly onto the garment, while DTF prints the design onto film first, before heat transfer. The Brother DTRX100 fits into a different workflow, involving film, powder and a heat press. Shops making this switch usually keep their existing Brother habits, but need to plan for the extra production steps.
Why does white ink matter so much in DTF?
White ink carries more pigment than the other colours, which makes it prone to settling if it isn't agitated regularly. Many professional DTF printers include a circulation or agitation system to prevent this, including the Brother DTRX100.
Are Brother DTF inks required for the Brother DTRX100?
Brother DTF inks are developed specifically for the Brother DTRX100 printer. They ensure consistency between the ink formulation and the print system.
What equipment is needed around a Brother DTRX100?
A complete DTF setup doesn't rely on the printer alone. It also calls for the right consumables, a heat press, cleaning solutions and the accessories needed for the full production workflow.
Does the Brother DTRX100 suit different production environments?
The Brother DTRX100 is a professional DTF solution built for shops looking for automated operation and steady production. How well it fits depends mainly on workshop setup and personalisation needs.
