1. Wide range of applicable materials:

• Textiles: It can be applied to a variety of different clothing materials, such as untreated cotton, silk, polyester, denim, nylon, leather, 50/50 blended fabrics, etc., and can achieve good printing effects on both light and dark textiles. And it has strong adaptability to various materials, and the firmness and color performance of the printed pattern are relatively excellent.

• Non-textiles: In addition to common textiles, DTF ink printing can also be applied to a variety of non-textile surfaces such as luggage, shoes, glass, wood, metal, etc., providing more possibilities for personalized customization and creative design, greatly expanding the business scope.

2. Simple operation process:

• No pretreatment required: Compared with DTG (direct to garment) printing, which requires pretreatment of clothing, DTF printing does not require this step. The hot melt ability of DTF transfer can directly bond the print to the material, saving time and labor costs, and avoiding quality problems caused by improper pretreatment.

• Flexible pattern transfer: The print-to-film transfer method allows the pattern to be applied to some difficult-to-reach or irregularly shaped surfaces. As long as the area can be heated, the DTF pattern can be transferred, and the operation is relatively flexible and convenient.

3. Efficient ink use:

• Less white ink usage: DTF printing requires relatively less white ink, about 40% white, while DTG printing requires 200% white. The pigment of white ink is usually titanium oxide, which is more expensive. The reduction of DTF ink in the use of white ink can greatly save costs.

• No nozzle blockage: At room temperature, it will not dry after being shut down for 24 hours, and it is not easy to block the nozzle, which ensures the working efficiency of the printer and reduces the maintenance and replacement costs due to nozzle blockage.

4. Excellent print quality:

• Good color performance: DTF ink can print more colors, bright and full colors, high restoration, can present realistic pattern effects, and achieve photo-level printing quality.

• Clear pattern edges: It can print clear pattern edges, shake powder cleanly without powder falling, and it is not easy to produce glue edges, making the pattern more delicate.

• Strong covering power: It has good covering power, and can show bright colors even on dark fabrics. In addition, the powder does not sublimate when it is shaken and baked, and does not change color when it is pressed at high temperature, showing high-purity colors.

5. Excellent finished product effect:

• Soft feel: Using DTF ink made of imported raw materials, the printed pattern feels softer, fits well with the fabric, and is comfortable to wear.

• High firmness: The transferred pattern has high firmness, is not easy to crack or peel off, and is suitable for items that are frequently used and washed, such as sportswear, work uniforms, etc.

6. High production efficiency:

• Simplified production steps: It eliminates the pretreatment and drying of clothing, greatly shortens the production time, and can quickly complete orders, especially for one-time or small batch orders, which has obvious efficiency advantages.

• Good equipment compatibility: DTF ink printing has relatively low equipment requirements, can be adapted to most improved inkjet printers, and has less hardware investment to start. It is a more economical choice for small digital printing companies or personal studios.

7. Convenient inventory management: Popular designs can be printed and stored in advance, taking up little space, and the patterns can be transferred to corresponding clothing or items at any time according to customer needs, which helps merchants to achieve diversified inventory management and reduce inventory risks.
