Default Vinyl cutters vs heat press inkjet transer

Hi
Guys I need your advice
I've just bought DTG printer. I've done some work with it but trully I really don't like the results on dark tshirts.Sometimes the quality of the printing is ok but usually its not what I'm expecting
So that's why I'm considering using vinyl cutters to do my dark shirt or heat press inkjet transfer. what would you tell me about a durability of these two methods, craks, fading away easily.
Which technique gives better results on dark shirts? Which one is more profitable?
Give me some tips,
thanks Marta

hi marta,

vinyl vs. inkjet transfers for dark? we have a lot of things to consider... for quality, ill go for vinyl, you will not have problems with color fading or cracking. but again, colors and designs will only be limited. for designs with gradients, you will definitely need to use transfers for dark.
