DTF printers have unique advantages in the field of clothing printing. They can meet the market demand for personalization, small batches, and quick response, and are very suitable for start-ups or small studios. The following is a detailed analysis of the application of DTF printers in the start-up of small businesses:
Advantages of DTF printers
- Personalized customization: DTF printing equipment supports printing computer-designed patterns directly onto PET film, and then transferring them to clothing through hot pressing, without the need for plate making, engraving, and waste discharge, achieving true personalized customization.
- Small batch flexible production: DTF printing technology has no minimum order quantity limit, and can achieve a minimum order of one piece, which is very suitable for small batch and multi-variety production needs, reducing inventory pressure and capital occupation.
- Efficient and fast: From design to finished product, the entire process is relatively simple and fast, which greatly improves production efficiency and shortens delivery cycle.
- Low cost: Compared with traditional printing methods, DTF printing has greater advantages in material, labor and time costs. One person can complete the entire production process, which helps to reduce overall costs.
- Environmental protection and energy saving: DTF printing uses water-based pigment ink, which is environmentally friendly and in line with the environmental protection concept of modern society.
