DTG & DTF Printing

Imagine you're throwing a party and you've invited two very different friends to help with the snacks.

First, there's DTF (Direct to Film) printing. DTF is like your super-organized friend who brings an assortment of pre-packaged, gourmet snacks. They’ve got everything prepared: cheese platters, fancy dips, and even those cute little sandwiches. All they need is a quick warm-up, and they’re ready to serve. No mess, no stress. DTF is efficient, versatile, and always has a little something for everyone.

Then, there’s DTG (Direct to Garment) printing. DTG is like your culinary artist friend who shows up with a bag full of fresh ingredients and insists on making everything from scratch right in your kitchen. They chop, mix, and cook up the most amazing dishes right in front of your eyes. It takes a bit longer, and your kitchen might look like a tornado hit it, but the result is a meal that's fresh, vibrant, and customized to perfection.

Now, imagine you’ve got a t-shirt that needs printing. If you go with DTF, it’s like picking up one of those ready-made gourmet snacks. The design is printed onto a special film first, then transferred onto the shirt. It’s quick, efficient, and works well on a variety of fabrics. Plus, DTF is great for detailed designs and vibrant colors. It’s like having a snack that’s been meticulously prepared and just needs a quick heat-up.
