DTF Printing solution With the progress of The Times, the technology is constantly updated. DTG Tshirt printing solution still has an advantage. At present, DTF Printing solution can be said to have made a breakthrough to some extent. Therefore, this article will focus on the difference between DTF Printing solution and DTG T-shirt direct spray machine. On the one hand, if you want to print clothes, you want to choose one of these two printing methods, maybe you will have a mental tendency after reading this article.
1. Printing method of DTF Printing solution
Compared with the tedious steps of screen Printing, DTF Printing solution and DTG T-shirt direct injection machine printing will be more convenient and simpler. DTF Printing solution: You only need to prepare a set of DTF Printer and powder shaking machine, which integrates printing, powder sprinkling and drying. Also need a heat press machine, necessary consumable ink, hot melt powder, PET film. The DTF Printing solution requires no preprocessing, connects to the computer and issues printing instructions.
After the DTF begins to work, the design pattern is printed on the medium of PET Film, and then the powder is automatically scattered by the powder duster, so that the hot melt powder is evenly adhered to the design pattern, and finally enters the oven for high temperature drying output. Cut out and place on the hot press for transfer printing.
DTG Printer has one more pretreatment step than DTF Printing solution. Before printing the design pattern, it needs to be hot pressed by a hot press. Then place the T-shirt on the DTG T-shirt direct injection machine printing platform. No need for hot press transfer later. The steps are also relatively simple. It is also necessary to connect a computer, print through the computer instruction, and transfer the design pattern directly to the pure cotton fabric.
The above two printing methods are slightly different, and the materials used are also different. DTF Printing solution is the king of the clothing industry, can be unlimited clothing fabrics, DTG T-shirt direct spray machine is the hegemon of pure cotton clothing. Print pure cotton fabric, feel soft, breathable, very perfect.
However, some brand machines such as brother printer can also use DTG direct printing for fabrics that are not pure cotton, and the effect is also good. However, the cost is very high, and it has a cost advantage less than DTF.
2. The breathability of DTF white ink hot stamping and DTG T-shirt direct injection machine
Shortly after the initial DTF white ink hot stamping was mature, manufacturers already knew that DTG T-shirt direct spray machines were higher than DTF white ink hot stamping machines in terms of air permeability. If the customer group must be made of pure cotton and has high requirements for air permeability, then the DTG T-shirt direct spray machine is undoubtedly the most suitable machine for him. If the customer's material requirements are not limited, and the printing pattern is not very large, then DTF white ink hot stamping will be one of his best choices.
At first, DTF white ink was used for large format printing. If it is winter, it can be printed on a T-shirt in the summer, it will cause a very uncomfortable feeling.
Now DTF white ink hot stamping has launched a corresponding solution to this problem. The solution is the introduction of new consumables: breathable hot melt powder and breathable film. The two work better together. Because of the variety of materials for DTF white ink printing, different hot melt powders should be selected for different fabrics. This is also a point of trouble compared to the DTG T-shirt direct spray machine.
At the same time, we have done tests, breathable powder and breathable film can blow out the candle outside the T-shirt print through the hair dryer. So, the quality is guaranteed.
3. The printing cost of DTF white ink hot stamping machine is different from that of DTG T-shirt direct injection machine
It is not relative to the printing speed of different sizes. Choose the same A3 size, DTF white ink hot stamping printing speed is higher than DTG T-shirt direct spray machine. DTG T-shirt direct spray machine prints a white T-shirt, the printing format covers the entire T-shirt, this time takes about 2-4 minutes. Dark T-shirts take longer, about 8-10 minutes. If you work 10 hours a day, you can print 150 white T-shirts and 60 black T-shirts.
At present, the A3 size DTF white ink hot stamping on the market, generally the printing speed is 3 square per hour. A day is 30 square meters. One square meter has about 10 A3 patterns, and 10 square meters have 300 A3 patterns. According to the hot press 15 seconds a piece, plus the interval of about 30 seconds, an hour about 80 pieces can be transferred.
In addition, the white ink of DTG direct jet printing machine is very expensive, and it usually needs to be cleaned when it is turned on, which consumes ink very much, so the cost of printing supplies is very high.
At present, Sublistar has launched a new precipitation-free ink that does not require filtration, stirring, and circulation to ensure stable and smooth printing.
You can choose your printing method according to your needs, generally if the customer has a variety of needs, you can use both printing methods at the same time.
