How are your beautiful graphics printed?

At TPOP, you need to know that your great visuals are printed using various digital printing processes. The aim? To make your creations as beautiful as possible by choosing techniques that will enhance them.

Without wishing to boast (it's not like us 😄 ), we frequently receive positive comments about the quality of our prints. This is especially touching because it took a lot of practice to figure out how to get a premium print result on all media.

Today, we are proud to say that we have found the right recipe. While we do everything in our power to provide you with quality service across the board, from the ease of use of our platform to our technical support, printing is still the core of our business. Providing you and your customers with superior products that live up to your brand is what drives us.

Let's take a look at the techniques we use to provide you with beautiful, beautifully printed products.

DTF for textiles: a revolutionary new technique

DTF takes its name from "Direct To Film".

This is a proven technique but is new to our market, as the printing process is quite technical.

It may seem rather laborious and difficult to set up, but it has so many advantages that it was unthinkable not to implement it in our workshop.

After many months of experimentation and optimization, we are now proud to announce that our entire textile catalog (t-shirts, sweatshirts, bags, accessories) is printed exclusively in DTF. We've invested in the most efficient printers on the market and fine-tuned every setting with our mastery of RIP software, to guarantee exceptional print quality.

How does the DTF work?

As the name suggests, the principle is to print a visual on a support and transfer it to the chosen surface of a given product.

This technique is mainly valid for textile products.

In the first instance, the visual is printed on a special film.

Next, we coat the visual with a special powder so that the motif can adhere properly to the textile. Finally, the pre-printed and powdered visual is applied to the product using a heat press. This is a much longer process than DTG (Direct To Garment).

Initially used for our small markings, such as collars, we decided in 2024 to extend its use to the marking of our sweatshirts and hoodies, and to all our accessories (bags, aprons, bodysuits, bibs and boxer shorts). 

Building on the success of this process and the enthusiastic feedback from our customers, in June 2025 we decided to extend it to all our T-shirts. DTG is now a thing of the past!

What are the advantages of the DTF?

The main difference between DTF and DTG is that DTF has a very pleasant and smooth 'feel' to it, and the visuals will be more 'raised' than a conventional DTG print.

However, this print will be very elastic and therefore very unlikely to wear out due to cracks and other cracks.

As a result, the final product is highly resistant to time and washing.

Unlike DTG, which is mainly suitable for cotton, DTF is an all-round printing technique: it will print on cotton as well as on polyester without any problems.

Similarly, it turns out that the rendering of the colors DTF printing is always particularly bright and shiny: a small bonus, all in all, quite appreciable.

Dye sublimation printing for other materials

Mugs and water bottles are printed using our dye-sublimation printers.

What does this mean?

Technically, when the ink pigment is heated to almost 200°, it changes from a solid to a gas.

We print your design on a suitable support, then we apply it to the product to be marked. Finally, a heat press or tunnel will allow the ink to react on the object, and to fix it completely in it. It's a method that requires a lot more steps than DTG; Even so, your sublimation products are still printed quickly enough and profitable enough to benefit your business.

Note that in order to transfer the image onto the object, it must be coated with a specific coating to be able to be sublimated: in short, a classic white mug from the shops will not be sublimable.

What are the benefits?

There are two main ones.

First of all, the process ensures that the printed product is simply incredibly resistant to wear and tear: in other words, your visuals are "integrated" into the product for an indefinite period of time. Washing, repeated use,...: nothing will alter your works. It's an excellent printing solution that fits perfectly into our ambition to participate in a more sustainable consumption pattern.

Secondly, there is no limit to colors And these stand out from the print particularly brightly, resulting in an exceptional aesthetic rendering. We've really selected the best of the best, just for you, the T-Partners.
