Digital Sublimation Heat Press Printing
The technological age has changed the way that society produces and views art. Constantly developing technologies have made producing art more available to the masses and a lot more approachable. With digital art there’s no need to worry about messy paints or scattered art tools. Now spectacular works of art can be created while sitting at a computer. Technology has also changed the way we put art onto our garments. Digital Sublimation Heat Press Printing offers the ability to produce quick results while maintaining high quality of print.
Digital Sublimation Heat Press Printing
With traditional screen printing, a classic method of putting art onto garments, you are able to achieve wonderful prints, but there are limitations. To make a screen printed design, a silk screen coated with an emulsion is etched with a graphic. If the image has multiple colors, each color gets its own screen with only those parts of the image that is of that color. Also with plastisol inks, which are normally used in screen printing, the more ink you apply to the garment, the more weight and ‘hand’ that print will have. Digital sublimation heat press printing helps address those problems. With digital sublimation heat press printing, a high resolution image is digitally printed out with a special printer loaded with special dye cartridges. The print out is on a heat resistant paper that can be placed on the garment and put into a sublimation heat press. After a short time in the press, the dyes on the paper vaporize and the image is transferred onto the fabric.
Digital sublimation heat press printing doesn’t care how many colors you want because it is printed out just like a picture onto paper; no need to separate colors into layers. Since the dye is absorbed into the fabric during the transfer, you won’t have to worry about print density, fading, cracking, or peeling!
