It may be more fair to compare DTF transfers to other transfer types. For example, DTF is different from using heat transfer vinyl because you don’t need to cut and weed your images. When compared to other types of digital transfers, DTF is usually more cost effective. This is especially true when there are multiple colors in a design and the quantities are low, less than 35 pieces.
From a quality standpoint, DTF transfers have crisp, defined edges and you are able to print floating text and fine lines without a problem.
In addition, they are really a great option for small quantity orders and can be extremely user friendly. You get the same type of artwork flexibility—you can print any type of artwork—as you would find with sublimation transfers. But the advantage of DTF over sublimation transfers is that you can print on fabrics other than polyester. You can also print on dark or light colored shirts, instead of being limited to white or light colored shirts as you are with sublimation.
