Disadvantages of DTF printing series Initial Investment: Getting into DTF printing requires a significant initial investment. The cost of specialized equipment and materials can be a barrier to entry for a small business or start-up. However, due to the efficiency and scalability of the DTF process, the return on investment can be fast. Maintenance: DTF printers, like any other industrial-grade equipment, require regular maintenance and a controlled environment to function optimally. These requirements may result in additional ongoing costs and the need for dedicated personnel or training. Learning Curve: While the actual DTF printing process is relatively simple, mastering the technique takes some time and practice. Businesses need to account for this learning period, during which production may not be at its highest efficiency. CMYK DTF Ink only: While DTF printing can produce a wide range of colors, including smooth gradients and blends, it cannot accurately reproduce specific colors, especially when they are outside the gamut (such as fluorescent colors). When precise spot color matching is required, use screen printing.
