Question 4

What is DTF printing and how is it different from screen printing?

Accepted Answer

DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing transfers full-color designs onto apparel using a special film and adhesive. Unlike screen printing, DTF has no color limitations, no minimum orders, and works on virtually any fabric color. Screen printing is better for large bulk orders of simple designs, while DTF excels at photo-quality prints, small runs, and complex multi-color artwork.
