Efficiency is another major DTF printing advantages. The process eliminates many of the time-consuming steps required in DTG, such as pre-coating garments and post-curing prints. Instead, DTF follows a streamlined workflow: designs are printed onto PET film, adhesive powder is applied (with automated options available for larger operations), and the transfer is heat-pressed onto the fabric in a single step.

Simplicity leads to quicker production speeds, which means businesses can complete more orders in a shorter amount of time. Batch printing further improves productivity because after designing, one can print multiple designs and store them on film for transferring to the required garments. Because there is less time between steps, better daily output, and DTF could be more ideal for businesses wanting to increase their production volume as fast as possible.
