Group clothing customization may be used in corporate team building, corporate exhibition publicity, or school class activities. In short, many activities now, whether it is a company or a school community, will customize group clothing. First, group clothing customization can make the whole The atmosphere of the event has been improved to a higher level. On the other hand, group clothing is more conducive to the promotion of brand activities. Generally, group clothing customization will be printed with special logos or patterns, which involves the printing process we will talk about next. These processes need to be understood!
Screen printing process
A basic printing process in the screen printing industry, it can be printed on cotton, polyester, linen, etc., almost all light-colored fabrics, and is widely used. It is also the most commonly used printing process for group clothing customization. The printing method is also very easy to understand. The water slurry is printed on the clothes through the hollow grid on the printing plate pattern. Where there is no pattern, there is no hollow. The disadvantage of the water slurry printing process is that only one color can be printed at a time, and another screen is required to change the pattern printing. However, it has the characteristics of low printing cost and good air permeability.
Digital heat transfer printing
Thermal transfer printing is also called hot stamping printing process. This printing technique uses thermal transfer paper to transfer media. The printing process is to print the pattern on the thermal transfer paper, and then use high temperature and pressure to transfer the pattern of the thermal transfer paper to the T-shirt. This method is currently the favorite printing method for small batch group clothing customization. Digital thermal transfer printing does not need to open the plate, which simplifies the printing process. This is somewhat similar to digital direct injection printing, but the process is different.
Ink printing process
The ink printing process is also called thermosetting ink printing. Chemical ink is used as a pigment, and the ink is solidified on the fabric under the action of high temperature. The ink printing process also needs to make a printing plate, but the ink printing process has poor air permeability compared with water slurry, and at the same time, using this printing process on chemical fiber clothes will be easier to fall off. But custom T-shirts, custom polo shirts, and other garments can use this printing process to reduce the possibility of falling off.
Digital direct printing
Digital direct injection printing is the best T-shirt printing process for printing T-shirts at present. The process principle of digital direct-injection printing is to design patterns through a computer, and then issue instructions. After the digital direct-injection printing machine receives the instructions, the printing process can be carried out. In this process, we do not need to make plates (saving time, effort and money), nor do we generate high temperature (the staff are not heated), and we directly print the ink on the clothes, which is a simple and convenient printing process.
