Business owner using DTF transfers spends heavily on outsourcing but is dissatisfied with existing supplier quality and cannot find local alternatives, yet fears in-house production due to health/safety concerns with a child at home.
No supplier offers both competitive pricing and consistent quality plus proximity; no in-house solution exists that is safe for a home environment with a child.
