What are DST Transfers?

With the recent introduction of UltraColour PRO DST Transfers into the UK heat printing market, you might find yourself wondering... What is a DST Heat Transfer? And how is it different from all of the other custom heat transfers on the market?

There are many buzzwords/abbreviations thrown around the garment decoration industry that you may or may not be familiar with such as DTF, DTG, DTP and more recently, DST. But what do they all mean?

DTF - Direct To Film - Ink is printed onto a film. This is then heat-pressed onto fabric.

DTG - Direct To Garment - A printer prints directly onto the clothing.

DST - Digital Screen Transfer - A combination of screen printing and digital printing applies ink onto a film. This is then heat-pressed onto fabric.

All of the above are specific garment decoration print processes that have their pro's and con's for your business so lets explore them below.

So now that we've established that the only con of using a DST heat transfer is that you need to be ordering over 10 sheets. Lets explore UltraColour PRO a little more.
