What is the difference between screen printing and DTF transfers?
Screen Printing is all about pressing ink through a stencil onto fabric. It's great for big orders and simple designs, offering vibrant colors and long-lasting prints. Each color needs its own screen, so it's best for designs with fewer colors.
DTF (Direct to Film) Transfers involve printing a design onto a special film that's then transferred to fabric with heat. This method is awesome for small to medium orders and complex, colorful designs. It's flexible, detailed, and doesn't require multiple screens, making it cost-effective for varied designs.
Limitations on Fabrics?
In the world of fabric and apparel customization, your creative potential knows no bounds. Everything is on the table. Screen print or Direct to Film (DTF) transfers? Both unlock endless possibilities.
Screen printing brings your designs to life with vibrant, lasting colors. Perfect for everything from custom tees to tote bags. It's all about making a statement that sticks.
DTF transfers, meanwhile, are the game-changers for detailed, full-color images. They deliver precision on any fabric, be it cotton, polyester, or blends. The result? Stunning designs that pop, no matter the material.
So, whether you're crafting a unique piece or producing en masse, these methods are your ticket to limitless creativity. Dive in and watch your visions become vivid realities.
