Hello all, I just found this forum and have been interested in the DTF for a little bit now. The question I have really is we do sublimation and vinyl for shirts and so on. I like this idea of the DTF because the starting up costs seem to be much cheaper then DTG.
If I was to invest into the DTF printing for my shirts, what would one think a cost per transfer come out to? I have read that yes the film itself is a big cost ($1.00) but with the ink and powder, what does one think that price is?
The biggest reason I'm asking is because we sell vinyl shirts for a company for $15.00 and they turn around and sell for $20-25. To do these shirts takes me a while because of all there colors needed and weeding of the vinyl it self.
If I can still turn a profit and lower my time, I think i can jump on this band wagon. Any thoughts will be helpful
