         DTG refers to Direct to Garment Printing, also known as Direct Textile Printing, which directly prints the ink on the substrate. The film can be directly printed by heating, which has the advantages of low cost and high efficiency.
         DTF is an exponential direct-to-film printing film. It uses the transfer paper with a release type, and uses the characteristics of the hot-melt adhesive powder to adhere to the ink to automatically position the hot-melt adhesive powder to create a free The printing method of cutting and pick-free printing can transfer the graphics on the transfer paper to the clothes through the heat transfer machine. Even if it is printed on dark fabrics that are difficult to handle with DTG, DTF can easily overcome.
Compared with DTG, the price of DTF is lower, and the two have more or less differences in the field of application, printing process and printing effect.
1. The field of application
       Customers who know DTG printers know that DTG is printed on 80% cotton fabrics, which is more limited by fabrics, while DTF can be applied to a variety of fabrics, such as cotton, nylon, high-elastic sportswear, etc., and is not affected by the color of the fabric.

       Before using the DTG printer, the printed material needs to be preprocessed. The hot melt process applied to the DTF transfer is able to bond the print directly to the material, meaning no pretreatment is required. However, after the DTF is reprinted, the printed image needs to be transferred from the transfer film to the printing material, while the DTG can be directly hot-pressed after the printing is completed.
3. Printing effect
       DTG printing has soft properties. DTF printed patterns are more durable and suitable for high frequency use items.
       Another unique advantage of DTF is that it can reduce the inventory of printed garments, and only requires a small space to store the transfer film, which can be transferred when the customer places an order or when a certain pattern is popular. Effectively avoid corporate risks.
