From Screens to Digital Transfers: Revitalising Print with a Future-Ready, Lean Approach
When I started my screenprinting business back in 2001, it was built on determination and hands-on learning, working with a four-color press that struggled with registration and an exposure unit improvised from a builder’s lamp. Over time, the business expanded to a team of 15, three large automatic presses, and an embroidery machine, printing for high-profile clients and events like Reading and Leeds festivals and creating apparel for Greenpeace at Glastonbury. At that time we were one of the only GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) approved garment decorators in the country!
Reopening with DTF: Leaner, Greener, and Stronger
After COVID-19, we closed the doors like so many others. But the timing of new print technology—specifically Direct-to-Film (DTF)—gave us the perfect opportunity to reopen, better and more agile than ever. This advanced DTF technology allows us to run a successful, lean business model that provides flexibility, exceptional quality, and a more sustainable approach. With no screens, minimal setup, and using far less energy, DTF empowers us to focus entirely on customer needs.
Quality Without Compromise for Key Partnerships
Today, we cater to both small runs and large orders, but our focus is on building long-term relationships with key accounts, providing reliable, repeat service with consistency and speed. While DTF can handle smaller orders, our priority is partnering with brands and businesses looking for a dependable print partner for their ongoing apparel needs. We’ve crafted our business around these partnerships, not one-off projects, to offer the best value to our clients.
The Future is Bright with DTF
Reopening with the latest DTF technology has allowed us to blend over two decades of experience with cutting-edge methods. The result is a nimble, customer-focused business that prioritizes sustainability and long-term partnerships. If your brand is looking for quality and consistency in branded apparel, we’re here to deliver with precision and care, driven by both innovation and experience.
Here’s to the future of print, refined and ready with DTF.
