TRANSFER

Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfer is a technique where artwork is first printed onto a specialised film, before being cured to the garment with the help of a heat-press.

They provide enhanced color vibrancy and high-resolution detail, resulting in a soft print texture that closely mimics the feel of traditional screen printing.

Transfers also break down some of the barriers associated with DTG printing - allowing us to print on fabrics like nylon, polyester, and other synthetic materials.

TRANSFER INKS

Transfer inks are OEKO-TEX® 100 certified, meaning you can be confident they are non-toxic and completely safe of harmful substances.

The inks are water-based and print with a CMYK process providing the flexibility to print millions of colours and reproduce designs with minimal limitations.

For sports and athletic wear, the inks also contain high elasticity properties which move with the garment, and a special bleed-resistant blocking formula to prevent dye-migration.
