Why Outsource DTF Printing Instead of Buying a Printer?

BY : Jarrolte Productions

Outsourcing DTF means you order printed transfers and press them yourself. You skip the printer, ink, powder and maintenance, and you pay for sheet length when you need it. It suits small and mixed orders. Owning a printer suits daily, high-volume production.

What do you skip by outsourcing?

The printer purchase, white ink management, powder and curing, software, and the space they take. You still need a heat press, which is far simpler to run.

What does outsourcing cost you?

Lead time and control. You wait for the sheet to arrive, so you plan around it. Pickup is in Calgary at 4558 14 Street NE, Monday to Friday, 9 to 4:30, or by appointment. We ship across Canada, and transfer orders of $99 CAD or more ship free.

When should you bring it in-house?

When you print every day, have someone to run the machine, and your volume is steady enough to keep it busy. Until then, outsourcing keeps your cash free and your risk low.

How do I try outsourcing?

Build a gang sheet in the free gang sheet builder, or order ready-to-press DTF transfers. We print transfer files as you send them, so check spelling, size and resolution before you check out. If we spot a problem with your file, we'll email you. Free designer review comes with our custom merch orders, where we print the shirts for you.
