Direct to film technology continues to dominate the landscape when it comes to heat printing apparel. There’s still huge potential for decorators to capitalize on the capabilities of DTF transfers, but there are also lot of duplicates, knockoffs, and low-quality options on the market. It’s important to know what to look for so you’re making the best decision for your business.
When direct to film is done right, it’s simple, fast, and consistent. Unfortunately, decorators are finding out that’s not the experience with every supplier. Don’t let bad DTF cause problems with print quality, waste time with cold peeling, or leave any doubts about your finished product. It’s possible to decorate with confidence using a DTF transfer that you can count on. With UltraColor MAX™, you will experience no-hassle, high-quality prints, every time.
Not All DTF is Created Equal
Word of mouth advertising and repeat customers are a critical part of running a successful business. Why risk your reputation with grainy, poorly printed DTF transfers? You don’t have to settle for banding, coarse colors, or faulty registration that makes even the best art look bad.
See how UltraColor MAX™ stacks up against the competition. Take a look at a side by side comparison below. From color vibrancy and opacity to fine detail and gradients, there are some clear differences between the two DTF transfers.
Can you see any differences between these two DTF transfers?
Does anything stand out to you? Focus on the areas notated with red arrows.
Did you spot the banding in the donut? There are faint lines running horizontally in the pink color.
Do you notice the grainy gradients in helmet and driver shadow details. The blueish-green helmet and driver skin tone shadow details aren’t smooth.
Can you see the lack of detail in the text? The font is bulky and lacks detail in the letters.
Notice there’s no banding here, with a richer and bolder pink color in the donut.
See the helmet colors transition seamlessly with a smooth fade between the blue-green, as well as deeper, more realistic shadow in the skin tone.
The text here has more detail, with more defined lines including a distressed effect.
Stay in the Know!
Don’t be duped by imitators with inferior products! You don’t have to waste time waiting for your transfers to cool down or use a blow dryer to speed up the process. Forget multiple application steps or high temps that scorch your blank apparel.
