direct-to-film printing has transformed how designers and print shops approach custom apparel, delivering vibrant color, flexible workflows, and scalable production that can adapt from a single creative project to full small-batch runs across a range of fabrics.This technique sits between traditional screen printing and sublimation, offering easier setup for newcomers while still delivering edge-to-edge detail, durable color, the ability to print photographs on cottons, blends, and synthetics, plus support for glossy finishes, a soft hand, and reliable adhesion across common fabrics.
