DTF printing is a huge buzzword in the industry right now, and for good reason. The results that can be achieved are amazing! You may remember when DTG printing was all the rage and many garment decorators rushed out to buy the equipment and supplies needed to create their own. You might also remember that it didn’t work out very well for so many of those small businesses. The truth is, the same thing is happening right now with DTF printing, and with such a new technology, it’s important to be aware of the pitfalls of owning your own equipment before you jump in and make a huge investment.

5 REASONS YOU SHOULD ORDER DTF TRANSFERS
1. Investment
Investing in the equipment, supplies, and the overhead needed to safely produce DTF transfers is very expensive. Save money by ordering transfers and make more immediate profit on every order.
2. Quality Control
Avoid the headaches of adjusting settings and trial and error. Investing in transfers ensures color management and consistent quality across every job, with no waste or added cost to your business.
3. Production Speed
Save printing time, only worry about heat applying. No maintenance means no downtime, so you’ll never lose valuable production time or say no to jobs due to broken equipment.
4. Shop & Worker Safety
Owning DTF equipment requires maintaining safety codes and protocols, as well as having the proper personal protective equipment and fume management systems in place. The safety of your shop and employees should be a top priority, and DTF transfers are 100% safe before, during, and after production.
5. Operator Training
It’s tough enough finding good help these days. Don’t spend any extra time or resources looking for skilled labor. With DTF transfers, your operator only knows how to use a heat press. And if they don’t, you can train them in minutes!
