1.Traditional screen printing
Traditional screen printing, also known as silk screening, is a printing process that involves using a stencil or mesh screen to apply ink onto a surface. The process begins with creating a stencil, which is typically made of a fine mesh screen stretched over a frame. The stencil is then placed on top of the surface that is to be printed, such as a t-shirt or poster.
Next, ink is applied onto the stencil, and a squeegee is used to press the ink through the mesh and onto the surface. The stencil prevents the ink from passing through in certain areas, creating the desired design or image.
Traditionally, this process was done by hand, with each colour in the design requiring a separate stencil and pass with the ink.
Screen printing is a versatile printing method that can be used on a wide range of materials, including textiles, plastics, paper, and wood. It is commonly used for creating custom t-shirts, posters, and signs, as well as for printing logos and designs on commercial products.
2 Digital Transfer Printing
DTF (Direct-To-Film) transfer is a relatively new printing technology that has been gaining popularity in the printing industry. It is a digital printing process that allows for high-quality, full-color transfers to be made on a wide range of fabrics and other materials.
In DTF transfer printing, a special type of printer is used to print the design onto a clear film or transfer sheet. The ink used in this process is a specialized type of UV-curable ink that is designed to bond with the fabric or material being printed on.
Once the design has been printed onto the transfer sheet, it is then placed onto the fabric or material and heat-pressed onto the surface. The heat and pressure applied during the pressing process cause the ink to transfer from the sheet onto the fabric, creating a permanent bond.
DTF transfer printing is an effective and versatile printing method that can be used on a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends. It can produce high-quality, vibrant images and is an excellent option for small to medium-sized print runs or for printing one-off designs. Additionally, DTF transfers can be cut to any shape or size, making them ideal for creating custom apparel designs with unique shapes and designs.
We have Five single station heat transfer machines as well as an automatic three station high volume heat press. To compliment these, we have a Roland Camm 1 Vinyl cutter which provides a wide range of design transfer option for those difficult to print jobs and a digital OKI C711WT polymer printer for rapid one off jobs.
