What is DTF Printing? We often refer to color patterns as DTF Printing. Because it requires mass production, it is not suitable for personalized home use. This process is usually used in industrial operations. Because of its simple operation, it is widely used in cultural shirts, T-shirts What are the advantages and disadvantages of offset heat transfer on shirts, shoes and hats, school bags, bags, etc.

Advantages of DTF Direct to Film Printing

Traditional heat transfer printing needs to be printed with a large four-color printing machine, and then the back glue is applied after printing. The cost of plate making and start-up is relatively high. Usually, this process can be used for at least 500 pieces each time, otherwise the cost is too high. Offset heat transfer no longer needs a transfer film when printing, because the printing pattern itself is on the film, directly placed on the position to be printed, pressed at high temperature, and then peeled off the film to complete the printing.

What is DTF Printing

DTF printing has strong artistic and decorative features, unique style, soft hand feel, washing resistance, clear and vivid pattern, which is unmatched by other heat transfer products. Of course, there are certain disadvantages behind the many advantages of offset transfer. One is that the air permeability is poor, and the other disadvantage is that it is only suitable for pictures and texts whose dots should not be too small and lines should not be too small.

The specific difference between ordinary heat transfer printing and DTF Printing:

1. In terms of cost, it is cost-effective to use ordinary heat transfer for small quantities, and offset heat transfer is cost-effective for large quantities. These are more complicated than colors. If it is monochrome printing, of course, silk screen is more cost-effective.

2. DTF Printing does not need to add background color, ordinary heat transfer generally adds background color to better engraving outline.

3. DTF Printing has better color performance because of the large printing machine used.
