What are the advantages and disadvantages of silk screen printing and hot stamping in T-shirt printing?


Silk screen printing is a general term, and it is also subdivided into many processes. Different pastes and different temperatures will present different touch and look. The most conventional silk screen printing has glue and water slurry. Glue has a strong sense of glue, strong coverage, and does not require high fabrics (except for color extraction). The disadvantage is that when the area is large, the air permeability is poor, and there will be a certain stickiness. The water slurry is characterized by strong air permeability and no hand feel, but the coverage is weak, and the background color will leak on the dark cloth. But the price is relatively cheap. In the case of hot stamping, a piece of glue that has been printed with a pattern is attached to the clothes by high temperature. The disadvantage is that it is very airtight. Never pull the hot stamping part horizontally in the store). The advantage is that there is no need to consider the number of colors of the printing pattern (silk printing is priced according to the number and size of printing colors), and the color expression is strong. There is only one situation in which screen printing is limited by single color, that is, it is not operated by a regular printing factory and cannot handle color registration. In addition, the low precision of silk screen printing is also wrong. In fact, it is the same principle as traditional printing. If the printing draft is a vector, there is no precision problem (the printing size is super, super, and super small). For bitmaps, it depends on the resolution of the original image. When making T, the process is determined according to the graphics. If there is a small batch (within ten pieces) and there is no factory relationship, hot stamping does have advantages.
