Browsing: cotton vs polyester for DTF transfers

Substrates for DTF transfers are more than just the fabric you print on; they actively shape ink adhesion, color fidelity, and the long-term durability of the final garment, making the substrate a key collaborator in every design decision, from bold graphics to subtle textures.When you evaluate substrates, you consider how ink penetrates the material, how the texture feels against the skin, how edges hold crisp lines, and how the fabric responds to pretreatment, curing, and heat-press cycles under real production conditions.
