Film printing=Vinyl printing (DTF=Direct to Film)
the design is printed on a PET film first (Heat Transfer Vinyl), then uses heat trasnfer to fix on fabric.
Thermal Dye Sublimaiotn ( Sublimaiton printing)
uses special ink and transfer paper. The design bonds with the fabric instead of sitting on top, so there's no plastic feel. The ink turns into gas and embeds into the fibers, making it as durable as dye. Colors are sharp and vivid, ideal for detailed or colorful designs.
Digital Printing (DTG=Direct to Garment)
uses special ink and transfer paper. The design doesn’t leave any coating on the fabric. Instead, the ink turns into gas and fuses directly into the fibers, making it as durable as dye. The result is sharp, vibrant colors—perfect for rich, detailed designs.
