technology: All of our caps (Trucker, Dad Caps, Snap Back etc) are printed using DTF (direct-to-film) printing technology. DTF printing involves printing a design onto a piece of PET film (a special film with a coating that helps transfer designs) using water-based inks and a special powder adhesive. Then, the design on the PET film is heat transferred to hats using a heat press machine. Duplium utilizes the latest garment printing technology and inks from Brother Intl. The Brother GTX, is the industry’s acclaimed top-rated DTG printer which provides greater vibrancy and the widest color spectrum. They use water-based pigment inks, non-hazardous, and non-toxic, and it is ECO PASSPORT by OKEO-TEX® certified and CPSIA compliant. The ink comes in innovative packaging which uses less plastic in replaceable pouches, so there is less waste and less impact on the environment. The printed garment will sustain multiple washings and maintain its integrity for years to come. Duplium uses Epson’s high-performance dye-sublimation heat transfer printers SureColor F6370 with 1440 x 720 dpi resolution. Printers use environmentally friendly ink which has no hazardous reactions, is chemically stable, and does not contain carcinogens or reproductive and developmental toxicity. Glasses are coated with a polymer which makes them dye receptive. Printed artwork with the dye-sublimation inks on the special transfer paper is transferred on the glass under high temperatures. The process infuses the printed dye into the polymer coating of the blank. The image becomes part of the glass creating a very durable and long-lasting image.,quality_control: Quality control is implemented through the custom-designed Order Processing System, using multiple checkpoints and verifications, as well as a 3-step print quality confirmation - at the printing stage, finished order collection, and in the QC Filter System before packaging and shipping. Duplium’s quality control process was modeled after decades of production experience in its ISO environment.,packaging: The product is shipped in a cardboard box cushioned with bubble wrap inserts that protect the product during shipment. | image_urls: https://images.printify.com/api/catalog/6156bbd1c50a6577637fe809
