With the new breakthrough in t-shirt printing technology - the emergence of the Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing, many would like to first know, what is so special about it? What kind of capabilities does the DTF provide that other printing technologies are unable to? Since the DTF utilizes an adhesion to fabric technique, how does it fair against vinyl heat transfer technology?
With vinyl heat transfer being the most common t-shirt printing technology in the world, how does DTF stand out such that user would want to switch over?
DTF printing technology as compared to vinyl heat transfer shows disparity in consumable costs, manpower allocation, and production efficiency.
Although the 2 printing technologies are often compared to one another, the main difference between the 2 technologies would be its workflow process. DTF printing technology’s main advantage would be its more efficient production process. Without the need for weeding, time and manpower can be more effectively and efficiently allocated for other work purposes.
