Digital & Transfer Printing

Digital print methods make photo-quality, multicolour designs possible without setup costs – which makes them the best choice for small and medium runs, and for logos with many colours or gradients.

DTF transfer (Direct to Film)

The design is printed onto a special film, coated with adhesive powder and heat-pressed onto the product. DTF is the workhorse of modern transfer printing:

DTF printing – a multicolour transfer-printed logo on a t-shirt
  • Works on almost every material: cotton, polyester, blends, softshell
  • Thanks to the white base layer, colours stay bright even on dark fabrics
  • Flexible and stretchy – does not crack in the wash
  • No setup costs, so affordable even for small runs

Digital printing (DTG)

The design is printed directly onto the fabric with textile ink. The print is thin and breathable – it feels like part of the garment. At its best on light cotton products and photographic designs.

When to choose digital or transfer?

  • A multicolour logo, gradients or a photo
  • Small and medium runs – even single pieces
  • A tight schedule
  • Technical materials that screen printing or embroidery cannot handle

Good to know

  • For large runs with a simple logo, screen printing is often more economical.
  • For the best result, supply your logo as vector artwork (PDF, AI, EPS) or a high-resolution PNG.
  • You always receive a proof for approval before production.
