In Kenya’s fast-growing fashion and branding industry, the demand for custom apparel printing has exploded. From businesses looking for branded uniforms, to schools, churches, events, and even personal fashion lovers — everyone wants clothing that stands out.
For years, screen printing and heat transfer dominated the market. But today, a new technology is changing the game: DTF Printing.
At Benykyms Printing, we’ve invested in the latest DTF (Direct-to-Film) and UV DTF machines, bringing world-class printing technology right here to Murang’a and across Kenya. Here’s everything you need to know.
What is DTF Printing?
DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is a modern method where designs are printed onto a special film, coated with adhesive powder, and then heat-pressed directly onto fabric. Unlike traditional heat transfers, DTF bonds tightly with the material — making it vibrant, durable, and flexible.
In simple terms: DTF allows us to print any design, any color, on almost any fabric — with incredible detail.
Why DTF Printing is the Future of Custom Apparel in Kenya
- Works on Any Fabric
Unlike sublimation (which needs polyester), DTF works perfectly on cotton, polyester, blends, denim, and even darker fabrics. - Vibrant Colors & Fine Details
Whether it’s logos, photos, or intricate artwork, DTF captures it with stunning accuracy. - Durable & Wash-Resistant
Prints don’t crack or fade easily — making them perfect for uniforms, workwear, and branded merchandise. - Soft & Comfortable Finish
The print feels light and natural on the fabric, unlike heavy vinyl prints. - Cost-Effective for Small Runs
Need just 10 custom t-shirts for an event? DTF makes it possible without huge setup costs.
