Now that you know more about DTF printing technology, let’s talk about the versatility of DTF printing and what fabrics it can print on.
To give you some perspective: sublimation printing is mainly used on polyester and cannot be used on cotton. Screen printing is better as it can print on fabrics ranging from cotton and organza to silk and polyester. DTG printing is primarily applied to cotton.

3. Silk
Silk is a typical protein fiber developed from the covers of specific mysterious crawly hatchlings. Silk is a natural, strong fiber as it has excellent tensile strength, which allows it to withstand a great deal of pressure. In addition, silk texture is known for its sparkling appearance because of its three-sided crystal-like fiber structure.
