These robust, production-ready DTF and UV-DTF solutions are proactively enabling businesses to effi ciently scale their operations and to add diversity to their product portfolios, too.

Leading the line-up is the 60cm DTF-T654 Black Printer with a four-head confi guration. This is a powerful system designed for higher-volume output without compromise, whether that is in the detail or the consistency of colour.

Kingly
A new approach to bespoke apparel Most digital decoration is applied to fi nished garments. At Kingly, the process works differently. Instead of printing onto stock T shirts or sweatshirts, high-resolution DTF graphics are applied directly onto single-jersey roll fabric before the garment is cut and sewn. Printing at the fabric stage allows designs to extend into areas that would normally be impossible to decorate after construction. Because the artwork is applied before seams and stitching are created, the graphic remains perfectly aligned and unaffected by raised seams, folds or distortion that can occur when printing onto fi nished apparel.
The printed fabric is then cut and sewn into fully bespoke garments, allowing brands to integrate woven labels, name tapes and other custom trims as part of the manufacturing process.
Kingly also produces its own single-jersey textiles through its in-house dye house, offering more than 2,700 registered Pantone colours. All garments are manufactured in Europe using European raw materials and operate under Kingly’s Platinum Standard sustainability framework, including EcoVadis Platinum, GOTS, GRS and SMETA Pillar 4 certifi cations.
