About Us

A Microfactory in Alsace

Since its founding in 2013 as a creative studio specializing in textile prints, our microfactory’s mission has been to train young talents in design and digital textile printing. Initially focused on producing and selling our own print designs, we soon expanded our vision.

With growing success, we decided to open our microfactory’s advanced printing facilities to external designers, emerging talents, and prestigious European luxury brands, allowing them to bring their own creations to life.

Over the years, we have broadened our product range and printing capabilities. Today, we print on all types of fabrics: from double-sided natural silk textiles for luxury brands to decorative materials, offering runs from 5 to 200 meters across more than 60 different fabric qualities.

Our team has grown accordingly, enabling us to support textile businesses at every stage of their development, from creative conception through to industrial production, whether for small collections or large-scale series.

Discover our Printing Techniques

Reactive Printing

Reactive printing is a high-quality dyeing process mainly used on natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and silk. It uses reactive dyes that chemically bond with the fabric fibers, resulting in vibrant, long-lasting colors that remain soft to the touch. This method ensures excellent colorfastness, with prints that resist fading even after multiple washes.

  • Vibrant, durable colors: The chemical bond creates deep, bright colors that last.
  • Soft hand feel: The fabric remains smooth and comfortable, without stiffness from printing.

  • Eco-friendly: Reactive dyes generally require less water and produce less pollution compared to other dyeing methods.

  • Excellent wash and light fastness: The prints retain their brilliance and resist fading over time.

  • Suitable for detailed designs: This technique allows for sharp, precise patterns on natural textiles.

Sublimation Printing

Sublimation printing is a digital printing process that uses heat to transfer dye onto synthetic fabrics, primarily polyester and polyester blends. The dye turns into gas without passing through a liquid state and penetrates the fabric fibers, resulting in vibrant, durable prints that won’t crack, peel, or fade.

  • Bright and vivid colors: The dye becomes part of the fabric, producing sharp and intense colors.

  • Durability: Prints are long-lasting and resistant to cracking, peeling, or fading, even after repeated washing.

  • Soft touch: Since the dye penetrates the fabric, the print doesn’t add any texture or stiffness.

  • No limit on design complexity: Perfect for detailed, photographic, and multicolor designs.

  • Eco-friendly process: Minimal waste and no use of water in the printing process.

  • Ideal for sportswear and technical fabrics: Sublimation is well-suited for moisture-wicking and performance textiles.

Pigment Printing

Pigment printing involves applying colored pigments onto the surface of the fabric, where they are fixed with the help of binders. Unlike reactive or sublimation printing, pigment inks do not chemically bond with the fiber—they remain on the surface. This allows printing on a wide range of fabric types, including natural fibers like cotton, linen, and silk.

But what truly sets pigment printing apart is its sustainability profile. It is a waterless process and generates significantly lower CO₂ emissions compared to other textile printing methods, making it one of the most environmentally responsible choices available today.

  •  Waterless and Low-Emission: No steaming or washing required, drastically reducing water use and energy consumption.

  •  Lower Environmental Impact: Many pigment inks are water-based and free from harmful chemicals.

     

  • Versatility: Works on a broad variety of fabrics—natural or synthetic.

  • Great on Dark Fabrics: Pigments offer strong opacity and vibrant colors, even on darker textiles.

  • Cost-Effective: Ideal for short runs or simple designs, with minimal setup costs

  • Good Durability: When properly fixed, pigment prints offer solid colorfastness to washing and light.
