DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is a method where designs are printed onto a special film and then transferred onto garments using heat. It produces vibrant, durable prints that work on a variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester and blends.
-
DTF printing offers several benefits:
• It provides excellent detail and colour vibrancy.
• It works on light and dark fabrics without needing a pre-treatment.
• It’s versatile and adheres to various materials.
• The prints are durable and resistant to cracking, peeling, or fading.
-
While DTF printing is versatile, it may not be the best choice for extremely stretchy fabrics like spandex, as the print might not stretch as much. Additionally, it’s less eco-friendly compared to direct-to-garment (DTG) printing due to the use of PET films.
-
The lifespan of a DTF-printed garment typically ranges from 50 to 70 washes or more when proper care instructions are followed. With good care, the print can remain vibrant and intact throughout the garment’s life.
Tips to Maximise Lifespan:1. Wash inside out in cold or lukewarm water.
2. Use a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
3. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh chemicals.
4. Air-dry when possible, or tumble-dry on a low setting.
5. Never iron directly over the design; place a cloth over it if ironing is needed.
By following these guidelines, your DTF-printed garment will maintain its quality and appearance for an extended period.
-
Embroidery is the process of stitching a design, logo, or text directly onto fabric using a needle and thread. It creates a high-quality, textured, and long-lasting design.
-
• Durability: Designs are resistant to wear and tear, making embroidery ideal for workwear or uniforms.
• Professional Appearance: The textured and raised finish adds a premium look.
• Longevity: Embroidered designs retain their quality for years with proper care.
-
Embroidery may not be suitable for intricate designs with fine details or very small text. Additionally, it is generally more expensive than printing methods, especially for large designs.
-
Embroidery is incredibly durable and typically outlasts the garment itself. With proper care, embroidered designs remain vibrant and intact for hundreds of washes.
