Sublimation can last extremely long because the dye becomes part of polyester fibers, so it will not crack or peel when done correctly. DTF can also be highly durable and works on more fabric types, including cotton and blends. The longer-lasting choice depends on garment material, wash care, ink quality, transfer quality, and proper heat press settings.
