A new printing method
Direct to Film Printing is superior to traditional Direct to Garment printing. It can print on almost any fabric.
The new process involves printing to a special film transfer and heat-transferring the printed film onto textiles.
This guarantees that your print is bright and sharp with details. Also, it can be machine washed and flexible. This is a great way for custom tee-shirt makers to ensure that their customers receive a durable, high-quality product.
Direct to film printing is a printing method that does not require cutting or weeding. It also allows for smaller and larger orders.
You can also use direct to film printing for repeat or popular items. This allows you to store and load up on prints without worrying about the cost or space requirements of pre-printed clothing.
This allows the printed film to be cut and pressed onto many items.
The Direct to Film Process
The five step direct-to-film printing process is easy to follow and allows you to print high quality, rich color prints on a wide range of materials.
The process is:
- Artwork
First, you will need to import or design your artwork into your preferred graphics program.
- RIP
The RIP software will create a white layer that goes over your color ink.
This step will print your artwork onto a film. You first print the color, then back it up with white.
- Coat
A powdered adhesive can be applied to the surface. It is then removed and melted onto printed film.
- Press
Once you’re ready to heat press the film onto the textile, peel off the paper. Now you will have a beautiful custom print that can be displayed in your store for customers to enjoy.
Axiom America offers both a 14 inch and a 24 inch printer. Both include an operation-ready PC, design and the RIPs software as well as a range of inks.
A variety of equipment and supplies are also available to them, including powder adhesives and ink as well as transfer films and ink.
