Fully Sublimated Print

Fully Sublimated Print

Digital printing is the ideal printing technique for complex and colorful designs which have the likes of gradients. The print is sprayed directly onto transferrable sheet that is then heat transferred onto the pre cut sections of the garment. These sections are then taken to "make-up" to be sewn together to complete the process. Fully sublimated print works well with large complex designs and is a quicker process than screen print. This printing technique is optimal for a "complete" look. There is no limit to the amount of colours that can be used.

Screen Print

Screen Print

Screen printing is a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of polyester or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance. Ink is forced into the mesh openings by a fill blade or squeegee and onto the printing surface during the squeegee stroke. It is also known as silkscreen, serigraphy, and serigraph printing. One colour is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multicoloured image or design. A maxiumum of 6 colours is offered for light coloured garments such as white and grey. For dark coloured garments a maximum of 5 colours is allowed as a white base is required for the colours to appear correctly. For this process a minimum order of 12 is required.
