Printing Methods
We focus exclusively on two high-performance transfer methods, selected for maximum detail retention and durability.
DTF Transfer
Direct-To-Film (DTF) involves printing custom graphics onto a specialized PET film, applying a hot-melt adhesive powder, and transferring the print onto fabrics using a high-pressure studio heat press.
Best Use Cases
- Intricate full-color graphics & photos
- Cotton heavyweight hoodies and street tees
- Left chest branding on dark-colored garments
Why choose DTF?
Choose DTF when printing photographic gradients or bright multi-colored artworks onto dark or 100% heavyweight cotton garments where other print methods would bleed or fade.
Sublimation
Sublimation printing uses heat-sensitive ink that transforms directly from a solid into a gas under heat, bonding directly into the polyester fibers for a completely seamless, zero-feel print.
Best Use Cases
- All-over prints & activewear
- Light-colored training blanks
- Team jerseys & sportswear kits
Why choose Sublimation?
Choose Sublimation when printing onto white or light polyester blanks where you require an activewear stretch, zero weight on the fabric, and prints that physically cannot crack or peel.
