FAQ
What MOQ for digital prints?
Very low — samples in meters/pieces; commercial runs vary by fabric.
Can you match Pantone colors?
Yes with lab dips / digital proofing; exact match depends on fabric and ink set.
Do you print logos for corporate programs?
Yes — uniforms, merch, hotel textiles.
How durable is DTF on garments?
High when cured correctly; typical wash cycles in line with commercial standards.
RFQ inputs?
Product type, meters/pieces, fabric, design files, destination.
Fabric-Technology Pairing Guide
Matching ink chemistry to fabric determines both brilliance and durability:
| Ink system | Fabric types | Best applications | Fastness notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactive | Cotton, viscose, linen | Fashion, home textile | Excellent wash fastness (covalent bond) |
| Disperse / sublimation | Polyester, poly-blends | Sportswear, flags, blankets | Near-permanent; dye migrates into fiber |
| Acid | Silk, nylon, wool | Scarves, swimwear, lingerie | Bright shades, good light fastness |
| Pigment | Any fiber, blends | Workwear, promo, mixed batches | Universal but sits on surface; hand-feel tradeoff |
A brand sourcing across several fabrics often needs two ink systems in one program — e.g. reactive for a cotton capsule and disperse for the matching activewear line. One supplier running both keeps color management consistent across the collection.
Application Deep-Dive: Home Textile
Home textile is the largest digital-print export category from Turkey:
- Curtains: 280-320 cm widths, disperse on voile/sheer poly, repeat engineering for continuous yardage
- Bedding: reactive on 200-400 TC cotton sateen/poly-cotton; panel prints aligned to cutting patterns
- Towels/bath: pigment on velour grounds (dyeing limits on terry loops)
- Upholstery: heavier weights, abrasion and light-fastness priorities over hand-feel
Shipment Examples (typical)
| Program | Composition | Lead time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boutique fashion capsule | 400 m reactive jersey, 3 patterns | 4-5 weeks | Strike-off + CMT through one partner |
| Hotel bedding refresh | 2,500 m poly-cotton sateen, 2 designs | 6-7 weeks | FR finish, customs packing per hotel group |
| Retail flags/promo | 10,000 pcs disperse poly | 3-4 weeks | Roll-to-piece conversion, barcoded |
Working With Corporate & Retail Programs
Large digital-print programs differ from boutique capsules in three ways:
- Shade governance: a locked color standard per design (retained strike-off) governs every repeat order; batch deltas are checked against it, not memory.
- Capacity reservation: seasonal programs pre-book press time; digital presses allocate slots like any production asset, and holiday peaks book out early.
- Compliance pack per market: fiber labeling, care coding, and country-of-origin requirements differ between EU, GCC and US retail — documentation is built into the packing stage, not after.
Sustainability Notes
Digital printing carries structural advantages worth documenting in brand communications: no screen production and no printing effluent from screen washing, ink applied on demand (less waste on dead designs), and short runs that cut overstock. Cotton bases can be paired with OEKO-TEX-certified fabric options on request; ask for the certificate copy with the strike-off, not after production.
