DTF (Direct To Film) is fast becoming a brilliant new alternative to DTG (Direct To Garment). But many customers may still be confused about compared of DTG, what are the advantages of DTF? In this article, Subtextile will solve your confusion.



DTF printing is more accessible compared to DTG printing. You can easily convert a conventional desktop inkjet printer, such as the Epson L1800 or R2400, to be used as a DTF printer. The only other equipment you will need is a heat press and you are good to go. DTG printers, on the other hand, are very expensive and often bulky. A popular and reliable Epson SureColor SC-F2100 DTG printer could cost you more than $ 13,000, while a new L1800 and heat press can be purchased for less than $ 1,500. You'll get your investment back in no time.

DTF printing is cheaper because it requires no pre-treatment and uses much less ink. (For those of you who are acro rip users, DTG printing is usually done with 80% color ink and 200% white ink. DTF printing only needs 60% color ink and 40% white ink. Because white ink tends to be the most expensive, it adds up to a great saving). Let's not forget the cost of time. It takes a few seconds to apply the powder to DTF film, but how long does it take to pretreat and dry a shirt? 5 minutes? and you will use 10 minutes if you are manually pretreating with a spray bottle and roller. It might not sound like a lot, but if you can save 5 minutes per shirt, that's a lot of time saved per day. DTF requires less maintenance because DTF white ink does not clog the print heads as much as DTG white ink does.

DTF printing is very versatile. You can print your patterns in advance and use them when needed. You can sell your patterns and easily send them to your customers, who can then apply for the transferring themselves to whatever garment they want. DTF transfers can be applied to many different surfaces and items that would otherwise be very difficult to print on. Can your DTG printer print on luggage?
