Why DTF for wholesale heat transfers
For years, buying custom heat transfers in bulk meant plastisol: a screen for every color, minimums per design, and art limited to a handful of spot colors. That still makes sense for huge runs of a simple logo. For everything else, DTF changed the math.
- No color limits. Gradients, photos and fine detail print in one pass.
- No setup per design. Mix many designs and sizes in one order.
- Works across fabrics. Cotton, polyester and blends press with the same settings.
- No minimums. Order 12 or 1,200.
