Question 21

What is the difference between DTF and screen printing?

Accepted Answer

DTF printing has several advantages over screen printing: no minimum order quantity, no screen setup fees, full-color printing without extra charges per color, no weeding required, and works on any fabric color. Screen printing is more cost-effective only at very high volumes (500+ pieces of the same design). DTF is ideal for custom, small-batch, and multi-color orders.

Unlike sublimation, DTF works on ALL fabric types and colors, not just white or light polyester. DTF produces an opaque print with a white underbase, while sublimation dyes the fabric itself.
