Our textile printing techniques
Every artwork, every garment and every quantity has its own technique. These are the ones we use in our Paris 20e workshop, and how to choose the right one. If in doubt, ask for advice in a quote request: we will guide you free of charge.
DTF transfer: our main technique
Your artwork is printed in colour, with a white underbase, onto a film coated with an adhesive powder, then heat-transferred onto the garment. It is the technique used by our customisation tool.
- All colours: gradients, photos and fine details.
- All textiles: cotton, polyester, blends, light or dark (low-temperature printing for polyester and puffer jackets).
- From 1 item, with no setup fees.
We also sell press-ready 35 × 40 cm DTF sheets, for workshops and creators who have a heat press.
Screen printing: for large runs
The ink is pushed through a screen, one colour at a time. Very durable and the most economical from 100 items, it suits artwork with few colours: logos, solid areas, lettering. Indicative lead times for volume orders: 200 items within 1 to 2 weeks, 500 within 2 to 3 weeks, 1,000 within 3 to 4 weeks. On quote.
Embroidery: the premium finish
Your logo is stitched in thread, with texture. Ideal for a small left-chest logo, a cap or professional workwear, it lasts as long as the garment. On quote.
Flock printing: names and numbers
For club and team kits: a different name and number on each shirt. Send us the list of names, numbers and sizes with your quote request.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between DTF and screen printing?
DTF prints every colour from 1 item, with no setup costs; screen printing is more economical for large runs (from 100 items) for designs with few colours.
Does the DTF transfer hold up in the wash?
Yes: wash the garment inside out, up to 40 °C, with no tumble dryer and no ironing on the design.
Can you print on polyester?
Yes, with low-temperature DTF: that is what we use for sports T-shirts, shorts and puffer jackets.
Is embroidery possible on all garments?
On most sweatshirts, polo shirts and caps, yes. Describe your project in a quote request: the workshop will confirm depending on the model.
