MYTH BUSTING FACTS ABOUT DTF
Myth: DTF Transfers Don’t Last
Fact: DTF transfers are highly durable and washable, lasting through numerous wash cycles. A shirt with a DTF transfer can endure between 30 to 60+ washes without significant fading, peeling, or cracking. This longevity depends on various factors such as the artwork, the print quality, garment material, and the heat pressing application.
Myth: Offering DTF Isn’t Offering Good Customer Service
Fact: Choosing DTF for jobs that aren’t suitable for screen printing is a mark of excellent customer service. For example, if a customer needs 12 full-color polyester shirts for a family reunion, a screen printer might struggle with the cost and complexity. DTF can provide a cost-effective, time-efficient solution, ensuring customer satisfaction and retaining their business.

Myth: DTF is Cutting Corners
Fact: Opting for DTF when screen printing is too costly or time-consuming is not cutting corners. It’s about providing a viable solution that meets the client’s budget, needs, color count, and material requirements, thus opening up new possibilities for both the business and the customer.
Myth: Transfers Have Been Around Forever; These Aren’t Special
Fact: While heat transfers have existed for many years, the technology behind DTF—inks, films, and adhesives—has rapidly evolved since early 2020. DTF stands out as a low-cost, fast-turnaround, and dependable option, with unique benefits that differentiate it from traditional transfer methods.
THE UNIQUE VALUE PROPOSITION OF DTF
One of the most unique aspects of DTF transfers is their ability to be printed and shipped to an alternate location for final heat pressing. This feature offers a remarkable value proposition, providing flexibility and convenience that traditional methods can’t match.
By integrating DTF into our offerings, you gain access to a wider range of options for your apparel decoration needs. We’re excited to provide you with this innovative solution, ensuring that you have the best tools available for your projects. We look forward to sharing more about how DTF transfers can benefit your business and enhance your products.
