Digital print is applied to the product using heat, which bonds the design to the item.
PRINTING PROCESS
This method enhances polyester items with vibrant, long-lasting colours that resist fading. Sublimation dyes are printed in reverse on large sheets of specialised paper and heat-pressed onto fabric.
ADVANTAGES
The material absorbs the ink, making the prints resistant to fading, cracking, and peeling
LIMITATIONS
Works on white polyester fabric only

This involves printing a design on transfer film that can be applied to fabrics or other materials using a heat press.
PRINTING PROCESS
This method uses a digital printer and a heat press. After printing, the transfers are applied to the item using a time and pressure-controlled heat press.
ADVANTAGES
Digital transfers are compatible with all item colours and will remain vibrant regardless of the item’s colour
LIMITATIONS
Some fabrics may be heat-sensitive, restricting suitable printing surfaces

Ink is pressed through fine mesh screens to apply your designs.
PRINTING PROCESS
A screen stencil is created for the design which is then placed over the item. Ink is applied through the screen, with each colour requiring a separate screen. The result is the screen’s image transferred to the print surface. After printing, the item is cured to dry.
ADVANTAGES
Provides good opacity and coverage
Highly durable, resistant to fading, scratching, and washing
LIMITATIONS
Can only print up to 4 colours; for designs with more than 4 colours, consider Digital Transfer.

This method works like a stamp: a design is inked and pressed onto the product.
PRINTING PROCESS
This method uses a silicone pad to transfer an image from a laser-etched plate onto an item. The plate holds the inked image, which is lifted by the pad and reapplied to the substrate.
ADVANTAGES
Can print on various surfaces and materials, including irregular shapes and textures
LIMITATIONS
Can print up to four colours on select items; for designs with more than 1 colour, consider Digital Printing
Ink drying times can be 24-48 hours on some item types

ADVANTAGES
Allows multi-colour printing on one setup
Allows for continuous designs that wrap around objects
Can print both matte and glossy finishes
LIMITATIONS
Artwork featuring gradients that transition to transparency or no colour cannot be reproduced
Cannot print metallic and neon
