2.   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 garment's surface 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 and is commonly used for items like t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers, and totes.

• 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 than DTG prints. DTF printing is commonly used for activewear and neck label printing.
