What direct-to-film printing brings to your product range
Direct-to-film printing is suitable for heavy-duty sportswear, outerwear, and any apparel fabric that direct-to-garment can’t print on.
Some of the fabrics include:
- Polyester
- Fleece
- Cotton
- Nylon
The new technique is incredibly versatile, and can also be used for prints on various fabric blends.
Here’s why direct-to-film printing is your next fave design technique
How direct-to-film printing works
The new technique uses a 2-step process:
1. The design is directly printed onto a special film using water-based inks.
2. After, the film is coated with a special adhesive powder and a heat press is used to transfer the design onto the fabric.
Create lifelike and vibrant art
Direct-to-film printing can easily take on complex and intricate designs.
You’ll be able to:
- Keep designs looking fresh, despite heavy wash and wear
- Make color or text come alive on designs using transparent space
- Design using more fabric materials than direct-to-garment print
Because the printing process involves direct transfer of images onto fabric, designs come out detailed and color gradients transition smoothly from one shade to another.
