DTF (Direct to Film) is a printing technique that was designed to directly apply images to various surfaces such as fabric, wood or glass. It involves printing a pattern in CMYK colors on a special PET transfer foil and then transferring the print to clothing using a thermal transfer press.

Advantages:

• Low circulation
• High quality printing
• Possibility of application on various shapes
• No problems with the ground

Defects:

• Printing time for large order quantity

Screen printing consists in transferring graphics to the product using specially prepared screens.
Making a print consists in forcing the paint through sieves directly onto the object, then exposing it to harden it. Screen printing is characterized by very good quality and durability. An ideal method for printing on cotton, polyester, paper or plastic.

ADVANTAGES:
• permanent marking technique
• good color reproduction
• fast printing for large runs

DISADVANTAGES:
• each color needs a separate matrix
• in the case of several-colored graphics, shifts in printing may occur

In this method, the paint is first applied to the transfer paper, and then, using a thermal press, to the material. The transfer press, with appropriate pressure and temperature, heats the paint onto the product. We use it on mainly textile materials (cotton, polyester, etc.)

ADVANTAGES:

• application durability

• high color saturation

• attractive appearance

DISADVANTAGES:

• additional pre-press costs

• no possibility to make tonal transitions

• a limited number of colors

• a time-consuming method

• the cost of prepress
