Digital direct printing and rotary heat transfer printing are two main types of digital printing. Today we will introduce difference between them.
1. Digital direct printing is to send the patterns need to be printed into the computer by high-resolution scanners, SLR cameras, or card digital cameras, then print the patterns onto the fabric by digital printers with in-built control software to form the digital patterns, and solid color after printing.
2. Digital roller heat transfer printing, same as digital direct printing, is to send the patterns need to be printed into the computer by high-resolution scanners, SLR cameras, or card digital cameras, then form the patterns by in-built software.The difference is, digital direct printing is to print the ink directly onto the materials, but digital transfer printing is more complicated: to printing the patterns onto the specified papers, dry ( or blow-dry by fan ), then get into transfer printing process by cover the papers on the materials needed to be print, heating and pressurizing, to vaporise the ink to the fabric, to finish the whole printing process, but no solid color necessary afterward.
3.Suited fabric for digital direct printing: in general, any light color ( include white ) is suitable, but some fabrics need pretreatment before printing, aging or washing after printing ( for example, 100% cotton reactive digital printing ), some only just need to be dry to solid color, but the feel is not so good.
4.Suited material for digital transfer printing: chemical fiber knitted fabrics, for example, PE, P/C ( polyester is the best )
