Printed fabric and garments in bold colour, cut and ready to make up

Apparel & DTF

Printed apparel is produced two ways. DTF prints onto film and heat presses it onto the garment, which works on cotton, polyester and blends with no pre-treatment. Dye sublimation prints into polyester itself, so the colour cannot crack or peel but only works on light polyester.
