Transfer Printing Information
Differences between screen printing and transfer printing.
Screen printing, which
is a wet process involving inks.
Transfer printing involves applying a dry
transfer onto the surface of the garment using heat and
pressure.
When
to choose transfer printing:
1. Transfer printing gives you solid blocks of colour
with very sharp lines to the edges - transfer printing
could be a good choice for some bold designs.
2. Transfer printing is a very good option in certain
instances where you are not going to order 12 garments
every time you order.
3. Transfer
printing has a shorter set-up time between sorting out
the design and applying the motif than for either screen
printing or embroidery. This means that there is no minimum
order quantity for transfer printing - however we may
charge for the set-up of the artwork the first time you
order.
4. For large
lettering on the back of garments transfer printing provides
a more cost-effective solution than embroidery, whilst
giving bolder, clearer lettering than screen printing.
