Process

Specialized printers and inks are used to achieve high-quality prints.

The film is first coated with a unique adhesive that allows the ink to adhere properly. Once the image is printed onto the film, it is then transferred onto the desired fabric using a heat press.

This method ensures that the design is permanently bonded to the fabric, resulting in a durable and vibrant print.
