Hello Everyone

I am Mia from Zhengzhou Domax Machinery CO., Ltd

Today we will talk about the topic that is DTF the same as Sublimation.?

Firstly, what exactly is sublimation?

In scientific terms, Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from a solid state to a gas state. It does not pass through the usual liquid state, and only occurs at specific temperatures and pressures.It’s a general term that is used to describe the solid-to-gas transition and refers to the physical change in state only.

Of course, for both DTF and Sublimation, there are many similarities. The pattern is transferred to the fabric by heating. And mainly both of them used in DIY cloth.

We can see the difference between DTF and Sublimation.

  1. DTF uses PET film as the medium, while Sublimation uses paper as the medium.
  2. And DTF uses white ink, and Sublimation doesn’t. 
  3. The foremost difference between heat transfer and sublimation is that with sublimation, it is only the ink that transfers onto the material. With the heat transfer process, there is usually a transfer layer that will be transferred to the material as well.
  4. The DTF transfer can achieve photo-quality images and is superior to sublimation. The image quality will be better and more vivid with the higher polyester content of the fabric. For DTF, the design on the fabric feels soft to the touch.
  5. And Sublimation is not workable on cotton fabric, but DTF is available on almost every kind of fabric.
