Understanding Our Printing Methods
Not all customization methods are the same. At NAMAR Infinite Designs, we select the printing method that works best for your product, artwork, material, and desired finish. From vibrant full-color designs to durable transfers and specialty hard goods, each method offers different advantages.
Sublimation
Best for vibrant, permanent full-color designs.
Sublimation uses heat to infuse special ink directly into a polyester-based or specially coated surface. Instead of sitting on top of the product, the design becomes part of the surface.
This creates a smooth finish with no raised texture, making sublimation ideal for detailed logos, photographs, gradients, and colorful artwork.
Great for:
Mugs • Tumblers • Polyester Apparel • Specialty Drinkware • Sublimation-Ready Products
Why we love it: Vibrant colors, smooth finish, excellent detail, and designs that resist peeling and cracking.
MDF Sublimation
Best for personalized hard goods and promotional keepsakes.
MDF sublimation uses the same heat-transfer process as traditional sublimation, but the design is applied to specially coated Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF) products.
The smooth coated surface allows us to create crisp, colorful designs on items that aren't fabric or drinkware.
Great for:
Keychains • Ornaments • Signs • Magnets • Photo Products • Promotional Keepsakes
Why we love it: Excellent print clarity, vivid colors, customizable shapes, and the ability to print detailed artwork and photographs.
DTF — Direct to Film
Best for custom apparel and fabric products.
DTF printing creates your design on a specialized transfer film, which is then applied to the product using heat and pressure.
Unlike sublimation, DTF does not require a white or polyester surface. It can produce bright, detailed designs on a wide variety of fabrics and colors.
Great for:
T-Shirts • Hoodies • Tote Bags • Uniforms • Fabric Accessories • Branded Apparel
Why we love it: Full-color designs, excellent detail, works on light and dark fabrics, and can be used on cotton, polyester, blends, and many other materials.
UV DTF — UV Direct to Film
Best for adding full-color branding to hard surfaces.
UV DTF is designed primarily for hard, non-porous surfaces. The artwork is printed onto a special transfer film using UV-cured inks and then transferred directly onto the product.
Unlike traditional DTF, UV DTF does not require a heat press for application.
It produces a slightly raised, polished finish that can make logos and artwork look especially vibrant.
Great for:
Cups • Glassware • Acrylic • Plastic • Metal • Promotional Products • Hard-Surface Gifts
Why we love it: Vibrant colors, crisp details, no heat application, and the ability to customize many products that can't be sublimated.
