DTF vs. Sublimation: Which One Should You Use?

DTF vs. Sublimation: Which One Should You Use?

If you're customizing T-shirts, tumblers, or other products, you've probably heard about DTF (Direct-to-Film) and sublimation. But which one is better for your crafting business? 🤔 Let’s break it down!

🎨 Sublimation:
✅ Vibrant, full-color prints
Infuses ink into polyester fabric or coated blanks
✅ Long-lasting, but ONLY works on light-colored polyester or sublimation-coated materials

🔥 DTF (Direct-to-Film):
✅ Works on ANY fabric type (cotton, polyester, blends, dark colors)
✅ Produces bold, durable prints
✅ Requires film, powder adhesive, and a heat press for transfer

🚀 Which one should you use?

  • If you want soft, seamless prints on polyester, go for sublimation.
  • If you need versatility on cotton or dark fabrics, DTF is the way to go!
