TRANSFER PRINTING TECHNIQUES

- DTF TRANSFER // photorealistic, even for small print runs - 

DTF transfer printing allows detailed, photorealistic designs with high colour vibrancy to be produced. The design is first digitally printed onto a transfer film and then transferred onto the fabric using heat and pressure.

This method is ideal for small runs, multi-coloured designs and subtle colour gradients.

To ensure optimum colour vibrancy, a white background is always printed, regardless of the colour of the fabric. This ensures that the colours appear vivid and true to life on both light and dark fabrics.

- DIGITAL OFFSET TRANSFER // photorealistic -

Digital offset transfer allows photographs to be transferred onto textiles with lifelike accuracy. This method is also cost-effective for large designs and large quantities. The result is a stretchy and durable surface, perfect coverage and a soft feel.

Digital offset transfers offer high colour vibrancy and reproduce photographs or images faithfully. Suitable for cotton and blended fabrics.

- SUBLISTOP // no sublimation printing -

Sublistop transfers offer perfect coverage on all coloured fabrics and meet the highest standards in terms of colour fastness and durability. Particularly when applying white designs to sportswear made of or containing polyester, colour particles from the fabric may bleed into the transfer during ironing or over time. During the production of the Sublistop transfer, a multi-layer process is used to apply a silver migration barrier between the adhesive layer and the colour layer, preventing the fabric’s colour from migrating into the application.

The main difference compared to screen printing or digital printing is the silver ink migration barrier, which prevents colour sublimation. This is particularly necessary for fabrics with a high proportion of polyester or polyamide fibres. Sublistop transfers are not suitable for softshell.

- Screen printing // silk, matt and opaque -

The screen-printed transfer stands out thanks to its exceptionally soft, fabric-like feel and its silky-matt, elegant and sporty appearance. Thanks to its high opacity, it is perfectly suited to both light and dark fabrics. It can be applied to cotton and blended fabrics without damaging the fabric. Another characteristic is its high elasticity.

Screen-printed transfers are suitable for all substrates (light, coloured or dark, cotton and blended fabrics).

- SELF-APPLY TRANSFER PRINTS -

When applying transfer prints supplied by Gustav Daiber, the printing instructions must be followed carefully. The print result can vary significantly depending on the model and condition of the heat press, as well as the environmental conditions. First check whether the fabric to be ironed is suitable for transfer printing. Before you start ironing, it is essential to carry out a test print and wash the fabric. Complaints submitted after the fact cannot be accepted.
