Screen Printing

Screen printing applies ink to fabric through prepared screens. It’s often a good choice for larger quantities of the same design, particularly logos and artwork with a limited number of colors.

Direct-to-Film Printing

DTF printing produces a design on a special film, which is then applied to a garment with heat and pressure. It’s a useful option for detailed, multicolor artwork and smaller orders.
