> How many items / garments would you like printed?
> How many colours make up your design or logo?
> What will the finished garments be used for?
DTF (Direct to Film) Printing
DTF printing is the latest printing technology to take the industry by storm. This printing method is a technique in which a design is printed onto film, coated with an adhesive powder and then fused with heat. The transfers are then heat-pressed onto a variety of fabrics including cotton, poly-cotton and 100% polyester. DTF is one of the most versatile and high-quality print methods available today. It allows us to transfer vibrant, full-colour designs directly onto your garments, even on tricky fabrics where other print techniques might struggle.
Using a specialist film and heat press, we print your artwork in stunning detail before transferring it onto the garment. The result? A smooth, long-lasting print that won’t crack or fade, even after repeated washing. There is also no extra cost for multiple colour designs. It really is the best and most cost effective printing technique in the industry today.
CAD Vinyl Printing
This method is used mostly for single colour logos or text on T-shirts, sweatshirts or polos and perfect for small runs such as sports kits or Hi-Viz vests. We take your design, text or logo, turn it into a digital cutline which is then cut out on a machine and then we heat press it with pressure onto the garment to seal the design. At Chameleon Designs we have a wide range of colours including speciality vinyl such as Glitter, Reflective, Fluro, Patterned & Flock vinyl available. Not sure what you want or have a specific idea in mind? Give us a call to talk through your requirements on 01273 814300.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is used for high volume runs of clothing starting at minimum of 250 garments. We use this method for long runs of workwear, event t-shirts, leavers hoodies, or promotional merchandise. This method uses an ink which is applied through a stencil (screen) to print your design directly onto the garment. This is a quick cost effective process when printing large volumes. Price is based on volume and number of colours in the design.
