What’s Coming in 2026 – Major Upgrades at DTFX & Our Sister Brands

2026 is set to be a huge year for growth across DTFX, PrintingMad and Just4Babys.

We’re investing in new technology, expanding product ranges and strengthening our wholesale offering to better support clothing brands, print shops and retailers across the UK.

1) 9 Colour DTF Printing Machines

We are upgrading to advanced 9-colour DTF systems.

What does this mean?

• Improved colour depth and vibrancy
• Smoother gradients and skin tones
• Stronger white opacity
• Greater colour accuracy and consistency
• Enhanced durability through optimised ink layering

For clothing brands and trade printers, this means better results, sharper detail and more premium-quality transfers.

2) Double-Sided UV DTF Printing

UV DTF continues to evolve, and we are introducing double-sided UV DTF capability.

This allows printing on both sides of clear media, opening new opportunities for:

• Window graphics
• Shop signage
• Vehicle interior branding
• Transparent packaging
• Premium promotional products

This adds a completely new dimension to what can be achieved with UV DTF.

3) Holographic UV DTF Finishes

We are introducing holographic UV DTF film options for brands that want to stand out.

Ideal for:

• Beauty brands
• Luxury packaging
• Limited edition merchandise
• Festival & event products
• High-impact retail branding

Holographic finishes create eye-catching reflective effects without sacrificing detail or adhesion strength.

4) Wholesale Blanks Expansion – PrintingMad

Through PrintingMad.co.uk, we are expanding our wholesale garment blank offering.

This includes:

• Bulk T-shirts
• Hoodies & sweatshirts
• Workwear
• Sportswear
• Trade packs for decorators

This allows customers to source both blanks and decoration through our network — simplifying ordering and increasing efficiency.

5) Wholesale Baby Embroidery Blanks – Just4Babys

At Just4Babys.co.uk, we are expanding our wholesale baby embroidery blank range.

New additions include:

• Baby grows
• Pyjama sets
• Comforters
• Bibs & accessories
• Gift-ready presentation packaging

This supports embroidery businesses, personalised gift sellers and baby brands across the UK.

Why This Matters

These upgrades are not just about adding products.

They are about:

• Improving print quality
• Expanding creative possibilities
• Supporting trade customers
• Strengthening wholesale supply chains
• Building long-term industry leadership

We are committed to investing in technology and infrastructure to ensure DTFX and our sister brands remain at the forefront of garment and product decoration in the UK.

Looking Ahead

The future of DTF and UV DTF is evolving rapidly — from specialty films to advanced colour systems and textured finishes.

2026 will see us pushing further into innovation while maintaining the consistent, reliable service our customers expect.
