Comparison between sublimation digital printing and DTF printing

The thermal sublimation digital printing scheme has promoted the popularity of digital printing of polyester fabrics and provided a ubiquitous short process digital printing method for various industries. However, the short process digital printing technology of cotton fabric and blended fabric is a difficult point in the industry. In 2020, the "powder shaking film transfer" scheme initiated by the Chinese people was born, Which also called DTF, ushering in a development climax of popularizing digital hot stamping on a variety of fabrics. China's original digital printing scheme has gone global, bringing the gospel of short process and waterless digital printing to all industries.


As the saying goes, every inch has its strengths and weaknesses, and the strengths and weaknesses of any solution must coexist. This not only depends on the diversity of printing media, process requirements and functional requirements, but also because it is a complicated and beautiful world. Consumers as God are qualified to have more needs.


Thermal sublimation solves the hot stamping problem of polyester fabric, and "DTF transfer" can solve the hot stamping problem of some cotton and multi-media. However, different materials and operation methods also affect the possible problems of the "DTF transfer" process: such as fine pattern transfer, hand feel and air permeability. The following is a comparison of advantages and disadvantages of different printing processes:
