01 / Soft hand
Water paste print
Pigment is printed with a water-based paste, so the handle of the fabric is barely affected — the route for large-area prints.

Print that still feels like fabric.
A print should change the surface, not the hand. Water paste keeps the cloth soft; digital opens the colour range; placement and foil do the opposite — they want to be seen.

Methods
The right method is decided by the artwork, the ground and the price — in that order. We quote the strike-off before we quote the bulk.
Five routes, five different results.
01
02
02 / Colour freedom
Digital printing
The artwork is scanned, colour-separated and printed directly, so photographic and gradient work needs no screens.
03
03 / Positioned
Placement print
A motif printed at a fixed position — chest, sleeve or hem — which requires cutting tolerance and a marked panel plan.
04
04 / Foil
Gold stamping
Foil is pressed onto the surface for a metallic, high-visibility accent, usually on holiday and gift pieces.
05
05 / Hand character
Tie dye
Fabric is bound and dyed before the thread is removed, so no two pieces repeat — over a hundred variations of the technique.

We will tell you which method holds the detail, what the minimum is, and how the hand-feel will change — before you commit to a print run.
