Prints and embroidery
Every textile and design is different. This results in the optimal printing technique that is best suited to the respective product. The following is a brief overview of the printing types used:
- DTG printing
- DTF Premium Printing
- embroidery
DTG printing
DTG printing is the abbreviation for direct-to-garment printing and is one of the most environmentally friendly methods of printing textiles. It uses water-based inks that are 100% free of heavy metals, formaldehyde and alkylphenol ethoxylates. These are completely biodegradable.
The Kornit brand, which produces the printing machines, is committed to sustainability with its patented technology. The printing is also water-free and therefore saves resources for the environment.
The low amount of ink used in this technique gives the print a soft feel and a pleasant feel. DTG prints are also very wash-resistant
DTF Premium Printing
DTG printing is the abbreviation for Direct to Film.
Colored ink, white paint and a special adhesive are printed on a carrier material and then applied to the textile with a transfer press. This makes special printing positions possible that are not possible with a direct printing process such as DTG printing.
This technique also means that the print is more on the textile and appears sharper/sharper-edged. The washability is up to 60 degrees Celsius, although 40 degrees Celsius is recommended to protect the motif.
embroidery
Embroidery on textiles is one of the oldest forms of finishing. Almost indestructible, the embroidery usually lasts longer than the embroidered material itself. In addition, its brilliance is well maintained even after repeated washing.
With the direct embroidery used here, the fabric is clamped into a frame and embroidered directly. This makes the design stand out from the textile and looks classy, and the wash resistance and durability are very good.
