How to Add Direct-To-Film Into Your T-Shirt Business

It's no secret that DTF (Direct To Film) Heat Transfers are only growing in popularity within the print industry. And as the UK's #1 DTF Heat Transfer manufacturer, we know a thing or two about how it can benefit your business.

There are many DTF printers on the market, but there are also many heat printers banging their heads against walls due to this particularly skilled range of equipment. The varying price points and varying qualities can be confusing so we've put a list of questions to ask yourself when thinking about purchasing a DTF Printer.

Things to consider when thinking about buying a DTF printer:

The maintenance:

• Will it require alot of maintenance?
• Is the maintenance expensive?
• Does it require paying for an engineer?
• Do you have the time to maintain the printer as well as run your regular print shop?
• If not, will you need to employ another member of the team to cover your absence due to the machine?

The investment:

• How much do machine repairs cost?
• Have you found a profitable price for equipment?
• Will the price of your DTF prints lead to a sustainable source of income/profit?
• How often will you need to buy paper, ink and powder?

The recipe:

• Are your prints reliable and high quality?
• Can you get your prints DTF wash tested to guarantee that quality?
• Are they easy to use / easy for your customer to use?

If the answer to any of those questions is 'alot of money' or 'no', then it might be time think about outsourcing DTF production and save yourself the hassle.
