      When should I use each formula?

      DTF is 100% digitally printed, whereas DTF Hybrid is both digitally printed and screenprinted - with DTF Hybrid, the colors are digitally printed, and then we screenprint the white underbase using a waterbased ink. This gives the transfer it's softer, thinner, more "luxe" feel. Because we manufacture these differently, DTF Hybrid is a better option for higher volume orders.  Both are printed on a clear film.
