The DTF Column
further by introducing templated sheets that can embed QR codes. Each code uniquely identifi es the sheet and can be scanned at various stages of production. This capability unlocks a host of benefi ts and is applied by the relevant queue in the RIP: • Automated Process Activation: As a sheet moves through the workfl ow, scanning its QR code can trigger specifi c actions, such as adjusting curing parameters, initiating picking of the garment ready for pressing and updating inventory records, helping to avoid unexpected shortages.
• Traceability and Quality Control: QR codes enable real-time tracking of each print job, facilitating root cause analysis in the event of defects and ensuring compliance with brand standards is met.
• Integration with AI: By linking QR codes to a central AI-driven management system, data collected at each stage can initiate predictive maintenance, optimise your resource allocation, and drive continuous improvement.
The future of DTF workflows
Perhaps the most transformative aspect of a R2S system is the integration of artifi cial intelligence at the point of shipping. Once a product reaches the shipping department, its QR code activates an AI system that automatically verifi es order details, selects the optimal packing confi guration, and updates the logistics platforms for collection. This level of automation reduces labour costs, shortens lead times, and minimises

errors, ensuring an almost seamless experience for both garment decorators and their customers.
Global impact and industry adoption Currently, Resolute is almost two years into the development of roll-to-sheet DTF systems. This has already attracted interest from major brands across the globe, who recognise the potential of R2S to revolutionise DTF transfer production and textile printing. By 2026, more companies will have started to develop fully automated R2S systems, meaning the days of traditional high production roll-to-roll DTF printing may soon be numbered.
