What kind of printing methods do you use?

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing: DTG printing is a versatile method used for printing on clothing, especially garments made of cotton or cotton blends. In this process, pigmented water-based inks are directly applied to the surface of the garment and absorbed by the fibers. This method resembles digital printing on paper and is favored for its ability to produce precise and detailed designs. DTG printing is popular for creating one-off products at a low cost and is commonly used for items like t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers, and totes.

All-Over Printing (AOP) or Sublimation: AOP is a technique that involves applying dyes onto the surface of a product using high heat and pressure. The print surface is typically white and can be made of various materials. During the printing process, the dyes are absorbed by the material, resulting in a seamless and smooth finish. AOP is used for printing on a wide range of products, including clothing (such as t-shirts, leggings, swimwear, and masks), shoes, accessories, mugs, phone cases, and home decor items.

Direct-to-Film (DTF) Printing: DTF printing involves printing designs onto a special PET film and transferring them to a product using adhesive powder and heat. DTF transfers are made with white ink, allowing them to be applied to any color fabric while retaining the vibrancy of the image. Although DTF prints have a textured feel, they are more durable and less prone to peeling over time compared to DTG prints. DTF printing is commonly used for activewear and neck label printing.
