Choosing the right printing technique for your brand is crucial. Here’s a comparison of #sublimation and #screenprinting to guide your decision: ⚾ Print Quality and Durability ⚾ 🏀 Sublimation: Ensures exceptional quality with vivid colors that embed into fabric fibers, offering long-lasting designs that resist washing out, cracking, or peeling. 🏀 Screen Printing: Ideal for simpler designs with one or few colors, providing good quality prints. However, the ink sits on the fabric's surface, making it less durable over time, and prone to cracking, peeling, and fading with washes. Evaluate your design requirements carefully to select the method that best suits your brand's objectives!

Why Color Separation is Still Crucial in Printing ? In the age of digital everything, some might think color separation is a relic of the past. But us print professionals know it's the secret sauce behind those stunning brochures and vibrant packaging! What is it? Color separation is the process of breaking down a full-color image into its individual color components – typically Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (CMYK). Each component gets its own printing plate, and when layered just right, they create the final masterpiece Why is it important ? • Accurate Color Reproduction: Ensures your design translates perfectly from screen to paper. No more unexpected color shifts! • Cost-Effectiveness: CMYK inks are readily available and affordable compared to specialty colors. • Wider Color Gamut: By combining CMYK inks in varying densities, you can achieve a surprisingly broad range of colors. #printing #colors #CMYK #design #prepress #packaging #marketing #graphicdesign

Screen printing is a versatile method for printing on various gift items like bags, pens, diaries, and mugs. Here's a brief overview of the screen printing process for each item: 1.Bags: Screen printing on bags is common for promotional purposes or creating custom designs. A screen is created with the desired design, and ink is then pushed through the screen onto the bag material. 2.Pens: Screen printing on pens involves a similar process, but on a smaller scale. The pen barrels are typically cylindrical, so the printing process may require a specialized jig to ensure accurate alignment of the design. 3.Diaries: Diaries often have a cover made of materials like leather, PU leather, or fabric. Screen printing can be applied directly to these covers to display logos, artwork, or personalized messages. 4.Mugs: Screen printing on mugs involves a slightly different process due to the curved surface. Specialized equipment called a cylindrical screen printing machine is used to ensure even application of ink around the mug's surface. #screenprinting # #digitalmarketing #uvpriting #offsetprinting

📌 Today's tips: How to choose right screen printing mesh count? ✔ Factor 1️⃣ : the level of detail in a design Images with high detail should use screens with a higher mesh count. Those fine dots of detail will fall through the holes in low mesh count screens. ✔ Factor 2️⃣ : the thickness of ink used Thinner ink, like water-based ink, should also be printed through a high mesh count. Thin ink will flood through larger holes in low mesh count screens, blurring the image. Thicker inks, like white plastisol ink, should be printed through low mesh counts. A thick ink printed through a high mesh count will take much more effort to create a good ink layer on the shirt.

Foil stamping uses heat and metallic film to create shiny text or designs. Unlike traditional printing methods that rely on magnetism, plates, or inks, foil stamping utilizes sculpted metal stamps or dies.

Tips for choosing right screen for silkscreen printing First of all, consider how easy it is for the ink to pass through the screen. For intermediate tones, use inks with high transparency, fine pigment particles, and a higher ratio of pigment carriers. The ink has good permeability. It can pass well when using a high-mesh count screen. Generally, plastic inks have good permeability. Special-purpose inks and inks with high pigment concentrations have poor permeability despite being fine particles. If the surface of the substrate is rough, you can use a screen with lower mesh count. For example, when talking about substrate like leather, canvas, foam sheet, wood, etc., the surface is rough, and the ink absorption is strong, a screen with lower mesh count should be used to ensure sufficient ink passing through. Choose the screen according to the fineness of the lines of the original image. In general, choose high-mesh count for fine lines. When choosing screen, you must also think about the cost. Under the premise of meeting the printing requirements, try to choose a lower-priced screen. www.jrpanel.com #membraneswitch #graphicoverlay #silkscreen #printing #screen
