DTF printing for workwear: when does it make sense?

Understand when direct-to-film printing is useful for logos, detailed artwork and larger garment prints.

What DTF printing is good at

DTF printing is useful for detailed, multi-colour artwork and larger print areas on suitable garments. It can reproduce designs that would be inefficient or impossible to embroider at the same scale.

When embroidery may still be better

For a small left-chest company logo on a polo, fleece or jacket, embroidery often gives a durable, premium result. The choice depends on artwork, garment, position and how the clothing will be used.

Questions to decide before printing

• How large does the artwork need to be?
• Does the design contain gradients or fine detail?
• What fabric is the garment made from?
• How often will it be washed?
• Is the garment for workwear, events or occasional promotion?
