Is DTF Printing Durable?

Direct-to-film printing is an advanced method of directly transferring designs from films to fabrics. The process is an innovative alternative to screen-printing but is faster and more efficient in practice.

DTF printing is ideal for work wear, in that the durability is enhanced by the special ink and adhesive. The print doesn’t crack like screen printing as it has a very soft hand due to the water-based ink used. Perfect for garments like overalls, high viz, gym and cycling wear.

It is undeniable that DTG printing has a soft, almost no feel, because the ink is directly applied to the clothes. Although DTF printing is not as soft as DTG boasts, transfer printing is more durable.
