Digital Fusion Printing: What It Is And How You Can Use It To Benefit Your Business, Since 1989

What is DIGITAL FUSION PRINTING (DTF)?

Digital Fusion Printing uses Direct to Film and Direct to Garment to produce the finest t-shirt graphics.
 
Advantages of using these techniques include:
 
– Vibrant colors and crisp, detailed images even on dark fabrics
– The ability to print small or intricate designs accurately
– A soft, wearable finish without the heavy feel of traditional screen printing
– Efficient printing on demand, reducing waste and inventory costs.
 
However, these advantages may depend on the specific equipment, ink, and processes used, as well as the quality of the artwork and garment materials. Ultimately, Digital Fusion aims to provide customers with a high-quality, customizable product that stands out from traditional screen printing methods. By utilizing the latest printing technologies, Graphic Impact can create vibrant and detailed designs that will make a lasting impression.
 
Furthermore, Digital Fusion offers a faster turnaround time than traditional screen printing methods, allowing customers to receive their products promptly. Additionally, digital printing provides the capability to print small quantities, making it a cost-effective option for businesses and individuals who need a limited number of products.

When should digital fusion printing be used?

1. High-quality printing is required: Digital fusion printing provides high-quality results with excellent image detail, color accuracy, and sharpness. This makes it ideal for printing high-quality photos and other graphics.
 
2. Customization is important: Digital fusion printing allows for customization by combining different printing techniques such as offset printing and digital printing. This makes it possible to create unique printed products with a variety of textures, papers, and finishes.
 
3. Short production runs: Digital fusion printing is ideal for short production runs and small print jobs. As digital printing doesn’t require a plate or setup time, it is cost-effective for producing small quantities.
 
4. On-demand printing: On-demand printing is printing that is done as needed, rather than in large quantities. Digital fusion printing is perfect for on-demand printing as it allows for quick turnaround and fast delivery times.
 
5. Multiple printing jobs with different requirements: Digital fusion printing allows for multiple printing jobs with different requirements to be combined into a single print run. This makes it easier and more cost-effective to produce a variety of printed products at once.
