If you’ve ever stared at a print and thought, “That white could be whiter,” we heard you loud and clear. At Apliiq, our commitment to premium apparel customization never stops evolving—and that means continuously pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with print quality. Today, we’re excited to share a big leap forward in our transfer printing technology: whiter-than-ever white prints.
What’s New with Transfer Printing (DTF)?
Transfer printing is a cornerstone of Apliiq’s custom apparel offering—perfect for bold graphics, fine detail, and color vibrancy on a wide range of fabrics. But one of the trickiest aspects of this method has always been achieving a true, bright white, especially on dark or patterned garments (think tie dye or camo).
That’s now a thing of the past.
Our latest upgrade focuses specifically on improving the opacity and brightness of white ink layers, delivering results that are more vivid, crisp, and true-to-design than ever before.

-Groobies, Apliiq CEOOne of Apliiq’s key values is to practice continual improvement: to show up each day and be better at creating value for our partners. I really love how powerful we’ve found the direct to film (dtf) framework to be, our production teams have been able to steadily deliver improvements to speed, durability, and finished product quality!
Why This Matters
Let’s break down the real-world impact of this improvement:
- Brighter, Cleaner Whites: Designs with white elements now pop against colored garments with better contrast and visibility.
- Greater Color Accuracy: Enhancing the white base layer also improves the fidelity of overlaid colors, especially in multi-color prints
- Improved Fabric Compatibility: These upgrades shine on garments with darker hues or more textured surfaces—meaning you have even more freedom to design boldly.
- Premium Look & Feel: A more vibrant white lends itself to a crisper, more professional final product that reflects the premium standard you and your customers expect.

Who Benefits?
- Brand Owners: More professional, consistent output means better customer experiences and fewer returns.
- Independent Creators: Your art, your logos, your typography—rendered as you intended, with no compromise in clarity.
- Resellers & Retailers: Higher perceived value translates to more confident pricing and stronger customer loyalty.
What Do You Need to Do?
Absolutely nothing. If you’re already using Apliiq’s transfer printing services, your prints will automatically benefit from these improvements starting now. Whether you’re launching a new collection or reordering top sellers, expect your designs to look sharper and cleaner—especially when white is a core part of the composition.
