Screen printing
Screen printing is a printing technique in which a layer of ink is applied to textiles through the mesh of a screen or stencil.
Advantage: best method for long-run production in solid color.
Digital printing
Digital printing involves printing on fabric from a set of computer data. Transmitted in a continuous flow, this data circulates directly from the computer to the printer.
Advantage: best for small prints or complex visuals.
Sublimation
Textile sublimation is a thermal ink transfer technique on polyester fabric. Using a digital printer, the logo is reproduced on transfer paper. With the aid of a press and the effect of heat and pressure, the ink gasifies and penetrates the polyester fabric.
Advantage: Allows images of all kinds to be printed precisely and brilliantly, with no color limitations.
