Pad printing
Pad printing is an indirect printing technique that involves transferring ink from a plate to an object using a flexible silicone pad. It is a method widely used in the advertising, industrial, and decorative sectors, particularly for printing on irregular surfaces and objects with complex shapes.
Pad printing is a popular technique that, thanks to its precision and flexibility, has found applications in many fields.
Screen printing
Screen printing is a printing technique in which an image or design is transferred onto a surface using a stencil on a mesh screen. The mesh is usually made from materials such as polyester or nylon and is stretched over a frame. Screen printing is one of the oldest printing methods and is still widely used due to its versatility and durability.
Screen printing is a popular method used both in small artistic studios and in mass production, making it applicable in many industries.
Engraving
Engraving is a technique used to create permanent markings, designs, or inscriptions on the surface of various materials such as metal, wood, glass, plastics, and leather. It is one of the oldest methods of embellishing and personalizing items, which today utilizes both traditional hand techniques and modern technologies such as laser engraving.
Laser technology, in which a design is burned onto the surface of a material using a laser beam, is a highly precise, fast, and versatile method, allowing for the creation of intricate patterns and the possibility of engraving on hard-to-reach surfaces.
Advantages: durability, precision, aesthetics, versatility.
Materials: metals, wood, plastics, glass, ceramics, textiles and leather, stone and mineral materials, paper, cardboard, rubber, silicones, PU, canvas and others.
Digital printing
Digital printing is a modern printing technique where an image or text is directly applied to a material from a digital file, without the need for creating plates, films, or stencils. This technology is particularly useful for customized or short-run projects.
Advantages of digital printing
- No plates or stencils: the process is fast and cost-effective for small runs.
- Customization: the ability to create unique designs (e.g., printing names or photos on each item).
- Short turnaround time: no need for lengthy preparation, allowing for quick printing.
- High image quality: accuracy and the ability to print in high resolution.
- Flexibility: digital printing can be applied to various materials.
Thermal transfer
Thermal transfer is a technique in which a design is transferred onto a material (such as fabric) using high temperature and pressure. The process involves printing the graphic, placing it onto the surface (e.g., fabric), and fixing it with a heat press.
Applications
- Clothing: t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats.
- Promotional items: bags, umbrellas, mugs.
- Other materials: ceramics, wood, metal, plastic.
Thermal transfer is ideal for personalized prints in small quantities.
Embossing
Hot stamping is a printing technique that involves applying metallic, glossy, or matte designs to various materials using a special foil and a heated die. The process is performed under pressure, which results in the permanent transfer of the foil onto the surface.
Advantages
- Elegance: creates a luxurious finish (metallic, holographic, pearlescent).
- Durability: resistant to abrasion and external factors.
- Versatility: can be used on various materials (paper, cardboard, leather, plastic).
Sublimation
Sublimation is a printing technique that involves transferring special sublimation ink from transfer paper to a material’s surface under high temperature (around 180–200°C) and pressure. During this process, the ink transitions directly from a solid to a gas, bypassing the liquid phase, allowing it to penetrate the material’s structure and create a durable and resistant print.
Advantages of sublimation
- Durability: the print is resistant to abrasion, washing, and UV radiation.
- Color quality: vibrant, intense colors and high image quality.
- Versatility: can be applied to various items.
Sublimation is a popular technique in advertising and decoration, valued for its durability and exceptional print quality.
Embroidery
Digital embroidery is a technique for decorating materials that involves computer-controlled embroidery machines, which precisely replicate a design on fabric using thread. The graphic design (created in a specialized program) is converted into a format suitable for the machine, which then performs the embroidery according to the programmed pattern.
Advantages
- Durability and resistance to washing.
- Elegant and professional appearance.
- Can be applied to various fabrics.
Digital embroidery is an ideal technique for personalizing clothing and textiles, especially in advertising and decorative applications.
