T-shirt Printing
T-shirt decoration today runs on two key digital technologies. DTF (Direct-to-Film) prints full-colour, photo-quality designs onto film, then heat-presses them onto cotton, polyester, blends, and dark fabrics — durable, washable, and free of screen costs or fabric restrictions. Sublimation dyes polyester fabrics directly at the fibre level, delivering vibrant, all-over prints with zero hand feel — ideal for sportswear and activewear.
Choose DTF for cotton, blends, and dark garments with spot designs; choose sublimation for polyester and all-over prints. Insight supplies the Mimaki TxF and Gongzheng Pixy DTF ranges, along with the Mimaki TS series and Gongzheng Apsaras G2 sublimation printers, covering entry-level to high-volume production.
