Why It Matters

Printing method affects the final product experience. It can influence hand feel, breathability, artwork appearance, and how the customer understands the product.

Common Misconceptions

  • One print method is not always right for every order.
  • Ultra DTF should not be presented as universally better.
  • Product eligibility must be checked before recommending a method.
  • Front print support does not mean back print or sleeve print support.

How It Relates to Blank Apparel

Blank apparel should be selected before finalizing print method. A top product that supports front print can be planned for POD customization. Pants and shorts should not be included in current print method recommendations.

Product Recommendations

  • Use DTG when breathability and soft hand feel are the main priority.
  • Use DTF when a standard transfer workflow is appropriate.
  • Use Ultra DTF when a customer wants a supplier-positioned option above standard DTF and the product is eligible.
  • Use only eligible top products for current front-print customization.
