DTF Transfer vs Sublimation

DTF transfer and sublimation are two popular methods for creating custom printed products, but they are suited to different production needs. DTF is commonly chosen for custom apparel projects where decorators want a flexible transfer-based workflow, while sublimation is typically associated with compatible sublimation blanks and printing applications. Understanding the difference can help you select the right method for your artwork, product type, and production process.
