WHY IS ULTRA COLOR GFX SO SPECIAL
Traditional screen printing made complex or photographic designs on dark fabrics costly and cumbersome, especially for small runs. Rush charges further increased expenses for quick turns. GFX technology simplifies this by printing artwork directly onto a polyester carrier sheet and transferring it to apparel, making high-quality, low-volume prints affordable and fast. We can print on t-shirts, hoodies, sweatpants, hats, bags, and more!
IN THE KNOW
While GFX and Direct To Garment (DTG) printing offer high detail and quality, they are not full replacements for screen printing but serve as alternative options. Screen printing remains the gold standard for durability and longevity. To preserve colors, wash garments inside out in cold water, and you can expect 30-50 washes and beyond.
PROS AND CONS
PROS: Quick turnarounds and low-quantity printing, even for a single item. No vector artwork needed—high-quality PNG, TIFF, or JPG files work. Versatile on various materials and produces vibrant prints with fewer setups compared to screen printing.
CONS: Slower than screen printing and can result in stiffer prints for larger designs. DTG offers a softer, vintage feel that’s harder to replicate with GFX, which tends to produce more solid and vibrant colors.

SIT BACK, RELAX, + RECEIVE
Here’s how it works: First, we adjust your design to the correct color profile for the DTF film. Then, we print it onto a special film using water-based inks. While the ink is still slightly wet, we apply an adhesive powder that helps the design adhere to the fabric. We heat the film to bond the powder to the ink and then press the film onto the fabric using a heat press. After cooling, we peel off the film to reveal the design, inspect the print for quality, and proceed with the rest of the garments. Finally, we fold, package, and prepare your custom apparel for delivery or pickup.
