Brother Unveils DTF Adhesive Applicator and Curing Station

Brother has showcased its latest Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing technology at the 2025 Impressions Expo in Long Beach, California. The newly introduced DTF Adhesive Applicator and DTF Curing Station, designed and manufactured by Schulze, build upon the successful collaboration between the two companies' previous work together on DTG pretreat devices.

The Brother DTF Adhesive Applicator ensures consistent and even application of adhesive powder, optimising adhesion for vibrant, long-lasting DTF prints. When paired with the DTF Curing Station, which provides controlled and uniform heat curing, the system enhances print durability and wash resistance—essential for textile decorators, apparel manufacturers, and print shops seeking to streamline production. Both units support DTF sheets up to 16” x 20”, making them ideal for various DTF sizes. 

Key Features

• Uniform Powder Application – Ensures consistent adhesive distribution, reducing waste and improving print quality. 

• Enclosed Cover – Minimises excess powder in the air, reducing waste and workplace dust. 

• Powder Reservoir – Features a large, easy-to-maintain reservoir that efficiently recycles unused adhesive powder. 

• Efficient Curing Process – Optimised temperature and airflow control deliver reliable, high-quality prints with superior durability.
