Types of printing
Method of printing by coating the paint with a special spatula (squeegee) over a silk screen (printing form) on which a photosensitive layer of emulsion with a recorded motif has been previously applied. Depending on the type of ink, it can be printed directly on various types of substrates or indirectly, on transfer papers.
Print by transferring colour from a rubber “pad” pillow from the printing block to the surface in question. Suitable for printing on small or rounded objects such as pencils, lighters, pendants, cups, etc.
A broad term, most commonly used here for direct printing, mainly by laser or ink jet technology. Suitable for smaller circulation.
Type of inkjet printing. It is based on sublimation, i.e., the transition of ink particles from solid to gaseous state. Sublimation ink printed with an inkjet printer on fabric or paper is transferred by thermal press to a special material where it merges with the molecules of the fabric and becomes its inseparable part. The print is therefore intense and resistant to mechanical influences, washing, ironing…
Transfer digital colour printing is suitable for direct printing of smaller series or individual printing, especially on textiles and flexible materials. The paint is transferred from the transfer layer of the transfer to the desired substrate by heating, usually with a thermal press.
Transfer printing, with transfer colour transfer is “baked” on the ceramic. The print is very resistant to wear and tear and washing in washing machines.
MACHINE EMBROIDERY or stitch is a method of machine sewing visuals with thread, most often on various types of textiles, T-shirts, caps, uniforms, and the like.
is a “3D” sticker on which polyurethane resin is applied. Extremely resistant to all weather conditions, they can be glued to a variety of substrates, and due to the bulge and 3D effect, they look more elegant than standard stickers.
The technique of permanent laser cutting on hard surfaces, metal, wood, glass, etc. Engraving is monochromatic and depends on the colour of the substrate on which it is engraved. In the case of objects intended for engraving, there is often a surface layer that is removed and reveals a contrasting colour.
Dry stamping or blind embossing is a method of imprinting content or logos on the surface of materials, most commonly on paper or coagulates. A specially prepared cliché and press are used for stamping. The result is an attractive relief print.
A method of imprinting content or logos on the surface of materials, most commonly on paper or coagulates. A specially prepared printing block and press are used for imprinting. The result is an attractive relief print. In addition to dry stamping (blind embossing), foil can also be stamped. The most commonly used are metallic colours, gold, silver, but also in other colours, matte or glossy and with holographic effects.
is digital printing where the ink is dried by UV lamps that emit light of wavelength corresponding to the photochemical receptors in the ink, thus achieving better print quality, durability and consistency on a wider range of materials.
UV technology, depending on the ink, can be printed on a variety of materials, rigid and elastic. UV technology is more environmentally friendly, and colours are more durable.
