DTF versus Screen Printing/DTG Printing: Simple operation, high efficiency, and exceptionally broad material compatibility
1. DTF can be heat-transferred onto most fabrics, including cotton, polyester, blends, denim, and even canvas. This ‘universal’ characteristic significantly expands its application scenarios.
2. Relatively straightforward workflow with low entry barriers: The core DTF process comprises: design → printing → put the powder on PET film shake → drying → heat pressing. Compared to screen printing's complex ink mixing and plate exposure, DTF demands less technical skill from operators, enabling small studios or individual entrepreneurs to master it swiftly.
3. High production efficiency and rapid delivery: For markets demanding swift response times—such as e-commerce, influencer collaborations, and group uniforms—DTF enables ‘same-day order processing and dispatch,’ aligning perfectly with modern fast-paced business models.
4. Exceptional durability: High-quality DTF powder prints deliver outstanding resistance to washing (e.g., 40/60°C, 45 minutes, 30 cycles) and abrasion, with minimal peeling or cracking, ensuring long-lasting print quality.
