Whether you are just starting your business or expanding or developing an already successful printing business, DTF printing offers a number of advantages that make it an ideal solution, so it is definitely worth considering implementing the technology for creating custom apparel products.
So why should you choose DTF printing for your business? In this blog article, we will present the top five reasons why we believe it is one of the best choices for custom t-shirt printing, promotional merchandise, etc.
1. Versatility – Print on Almost Any Fabric
One of the biggest advantages of DTF printing is that the designs you create can be used on a wide variety of materials. Unlike sublimation printing, which can only be printed on white materials with a minimum cotton content of 80%, DTF printing can be easily printed on a wide range of materials, including:
- Cotton
- Polyester
- Blends
- Leather
- Canvas
- Nylon
- Even non-textile surfaces such as wood and paper
In addition, DTF designs can be used on dark and colored textile surfaces, as the white layer on the top keeps the colors vibrant.
This makes DTF printing a one-stop solution for businesses looking to expand their product range. Whether you want to print unique text on t-shirts, hoodies, bags, sportswear, jackets, ties, or even rain jackets or umbrellas, DTF printing ensures that you can do it at minimal cost and with beautiful results.
2. High-quality, vibrant prints that last
Our experience shows that customers are looking for prints that are durable and remain vibrant even after multiple washes. With DTF printing, we can create vibrant, rich colors, sharp details, and long-lasting logos and emblems. The prints are highly resistant to cracking, peeling, or fading for up to 50-60 washes.
• Bold and vibrant colors – DTF ink creates full-color, high-coverage, high-quality designs with smooth color transitions and sharp details.
• Wash durability – Prints withstand repeated wash cycles for up to 50-60 washes, making them ideal for everyday wear, such as custom-printed workwear.
• Soft Print – Unlike rigid vinyl transfers, DTF prints take on the texture of the material, giving the print a completely natural feel, maintaining a flexible texture on the materials, and not cracking or peeling.
Such high quality of the print has already convinced countless people and companies to use DTF technology for textile logos, and satisfied customers are the assurance that their products truly represent value.
3. Cost-effective for both small and large custom orders
Starting a custom clothing store can be expensive, especially if you rely solely on one of the previous technologies, as screen printing is only worthwhile for large quantities of identical designs, and with DTG production, full, large-scale prints, such as A4 - A3, are extremely expensive. DTF printing eliminates exactly these difficulties, as its digital nature allows you to produce even a single piece at a reasonable price, and even in the case of large-volume orders, it is possible to offer different designs at a reasonable price.
No need for expensive screens or tools or pre-treatment - Unlike screen printing, DTF technology does not require expensive equipment for each new design, nor pre-treatment to make the textile suitable for labeling like DTG.
Whether you are a small business owner or a large-scale clothing manufacturer, DTF printing allows you to maximize profits while keeping production costs low, thereby increasing the efficiency of your company.
4. Fast and easy production process
Efficiency is one of the key factors when running a printing business, and DTF printing makes the production process faster and easier than ever. Here’s why:
• Simple process, easy to automate – Just print your design onto DTF film, apply adhesive powder, spread it out and heat press it onto the fabric. If you have an industrial system, once the files are prepared, the entire production process is done automatically, so all you have to do is mail or iron the prints.
• No Pre-treatment Required – Unlike DTG, which required pre-treatment of the garments, there is no pre-treatment required when using DTF technology
• Batch Printing Capabilities – Print as many designs as you want at once and store pre-printed films for later use for up to 10 weeks. It is important that prints intended for storage must always be heat-treated in full accordance with the regulations and we recommend placing a sheet of paper between DTF sheets during storage. With batch production, you can easily increase the efficiency of your workflow.
This means you can take on more orders, meet tighter deadlines and easily expand your business.
5. Expand your business with unique customization options
The flexibility of DTF printing offers almost endless possibilities to expand your business’s product range and offer your customers something truly unique. Here are a few examples:
- Easily print highly detailed and multi-color designs.
- Create unique one-off pieces or large production runs without extra costs.
- Offer personalized merchandise by allowing customers to print names, logos, or custom artwork on demand.
DTF has no design limitations – you can print intricate graphics, fine details, and even full-color photo-quality prints, making it ideal for businesses focused on individual branding and customization.
