SUBLIMATION
SUBLIMATION

Sublimation is an extremely durable printing technology that can handle high-quality and vibrant designs in photographic quality. Large-scale designs and printing over seams are not an issue.

SUBLIMATION

Sublimation is an extremely durable printing technology that easily handles printing in photographic quality, large-scale motifs, and can even handle printing over seams. Thanks to its ability to change designs within minutes, this method is also suitable for small orders.

The printing process involves a paper carrier with the design printed on it, which is then applied to the fabric using heat and pressure. The sublimation ink is absorbed directly into the textile fibers, resulting in a long-lasting print that resists fading even after washing or dry cleaning. Sublimation can only be performed on synthetic materials such as polyester or nylon, and its benefits are unparalleled on white backgrounds.

PROS AND CONS OF SUBLIMATION

+ high durability
+ excellent quality of printed details, sharpness and precision 
+ printed material remains breathable 
+ photographic print quality 
+ printing over seams

- only suitable for fabrics with a minimum of 65% polyester fibers
- ideal for white fabrics (coloured fabrics can be printed only by dark inks)
- higher price
- not suitable for textured or very flexible textiles (fleece and terry cloth)

DTG

Digital printing has brought a revolutionary change in advertising textiles, and was the first to allow high-quality printing of full-colour print templates, including photographs.

Ink colours are applied directly to the fabric and are immediately dried, ensuring high durability of the print.

Digital printing is suitable for both single orders and small series printing. It is not limited by the number of colours, making it suitable for high-quality and high-resolution printing.

PROS AND CONS OF DTG

+ unlimited number of colours
+ printing in photographic quality and resolution 
+ print is barely noticeable to the touch 
+ guaranteed durability of the print against washing up to 40°C

- exact Pantone® shade cannot be guaranteed
- cannot print with reflective colours
- more suitable for cotton textiles
- not suitable for textured or very flexible textiles (fleece and terry cloth)

DTF

Digital transfer is another technology developed for printing complex designs, including photographs and small vectors with full-colour tones or colour gradients. 

The design is first printed onto a transparent thin film that allows for easy fitting of the motif. The advantage is the washability and long-lasting durability of the print.

PROS AND CONS OF DTF

+ excellent durability
+ can be applied on mixed materials and softshell
+ printing of photographs, colour gradients, and shadows

- not suitable for small designs and fonts
- fabric under application is not breathable
- less flexible than sublimation
- not suitable for textured or very flexible textiles (fleece and terry cloth)

SCREEN PRINTING

Screen printing is the oldest and most effective form of direct textile printing, which is particularly useful when you need to print a large number of products.

Screen printing is done mechanically, achieving a high daily production (up to 15,000 prints) and the same print quality throughout the entire printing order.

Clear advantages include colour fastness, print durability, and favorable pricing.

PROS AND CONS OF SCREEN PRINTING

+ high quality and speed of printing
+ high precision of details
+ excellent colour fastness. The colour is practically unremovable (when washing and ironing procedures are followed)
+ printing according to Pantone® colour charts
+ cost-effective for large orders

- technology is demanding for preparation
- preparation costs are expensive for smaller volumes
- not suitable for textiles with uneven or rough surface structure (fleece, terry cloth)





 

SCREEN PRINTING TRANSFER

It is a variant of transfer where a design is first printed on a special film using the screen printing method. The film is then applied to the textile by heat and pressure.

The technology is suitable for all textiles and is recommended especially for products unsuitable for direct printing (applying colour directly onto the material).

PROS AND CONS OF SCREEN PRINTING TRANSFER

+ applicable to all types of textiles
+ fast printing process
+ flexibility and resistance to rubbing and fading

- cannot be applied to water-repellent materials
- low breathability under print
- lower adhesion 
- not suitable for textured or very flexible textiles (fleece and terry cloth)

EMBROIDERY

Embroidery is one of the highest quality ways to present a design, especially suitable for premium textiles or for t-shirts and polos with higher weight. It withstands high temperatures, so it is often used for workwear. A variation of embroidery is a patch. In this case, the design is embroidered onto a separate piece of fabric, which is then applied to the product.

We will make the embroidery for you using automated machines in up to 12 colours. You can even choose specialist 3D effects, metalic or UV threads.

PROS AND CONS OF EMBROIDERY

+ metallic or non-flammable threads can be used
+ resistence to frequent washing
+ can be ironed
+ price is determined by number of stitches, not colours  

- longer delivery
- not suitable for all graphics
- price is determined by a size of the embroidery and complexity of the design




 

LITHOTRANSFER

Lithotransfer is one of the most modern methods of printing on textiles. In principle, it works similarly to digital transfer and can easily print full-colour designs, photographs, and colour gradients.

Its key advantages include the ability to process very detailed and intricate designs. The resulting print retains exceptional sharpness, finesse, and colour vibrancy.

This technique can create durable prints that would be difficult to achieve with other methods.

PROS AND CONS OF LITHO TRANSFER

+ exceptional sharpness and finesse of print details
+ accurate and vivid colour reproduction
+ suitable for all materials
+ durability

- high cost for smaller orders (compared to DTF printing)
- more complex printing preparation
- suitable primarily for larger print volumes
- not suitable for textured or very flexible textiles (fleece and terry cloth)

LABEL CHANGE

Are you creating your own brand? For all products, we offer the removal or replacement of original product labels with your own, including their production. An interesting alternative is for example printing a new label directly on the textile.

The label material can be woven, satin or paper.

PLACEMENT OPTIONS

• In the neckline
• On the reverse in the side seam
• Branding label on sleeve hem
• Branding label on bottom hem 
• Branding label on side seam
