Tips and Faqs
Printing techniques
What printing techniques do you offer?
All this is possible as long as a minimum production is necessary. Otherwise, the price of each unit may be higher.
What is digital vinyl? In which cases is it recommended?
We recommend digital vinyl for small productions of t-shirts, jackets or other textile products of up to 50 units on which you want to print photographs or images with color gradients.
What is cut vinyl? In which cases is it recommended?
We recommend cutting vinyl for small productions of t-shirts, jackets or other textile products of up to 50 units, in 1 or 2 colours. It is also suitable for large-format lettering (windows, posters, automobiles, decoration, among others).
What is pad printing? In which cases is it recommended?
Pad printing is recommended in cases of products that have a reduced marking surface, such as pens or key rings, among others.
What is screen printing? In which cases is it recommended?
We recommend screen printing especially for t-shirts and textile products from approximately 50/60 units (depending on the size of the marking), as long as the printing is done in one colour. Otherwise, another more appropriate technique will be valued.
What is sublimation? In which cases is it recommended?
The design is printed on special sublimation paper and placed on the fabric to be marked. Then, thanks to the heat applied by means of a special plate, the inks on the paper go from the solid state to the gaseous state, to later return to the solid state and, thus, remain printed on the fabric.
The result is a quality finish in full color and resistant to countless washes. This technology is not applicable to cotton, fiber or similar fabrics. It should only be applied on polyester.
We recommend it for four-color printing and small print runs on a white item. Also to carry out large 100% customizable productions. In this case, the textile article is made according to the customer’s needs.
What is digital vinyl? And the cut? What differences do we find between the two?
Digital vinyl allows four-color printing (photographs, for example); and make gradients; Otherwise, the cut vinyl only allows you to print solid masses of colour.
We recommend both techniques to print up to 50 approximate units (small productions) of t-shirts, jackets or other textile products. The cut vinyl is ideal for stamping designs of 1 or 2 colors.
Digital vinyl, however, is the best option if you want to print images or drawings with color gradients.
Finally, cut vinyl is also a good option for large-format signage (windows, posters, automobiles, decoration, among others).
What is the difference between screen printing and vinyl?
On the contrary, vinyl is a plastic adhesive that is attached to the piece to be stamped using an iron that emits heat.
Screen printing is recommended above all for printing t-shirts and textile products from 50/60 units (depending on the size of the marking).
Instead, vinyl is recommended for productions of less than 50 units.
What is the difference between pad printing and screen printing?
However, in screen printing, screens with a weft of threads are used. The part that is not drawing is darkened and the ink passes through only through the undarkened threads.
In contrast, pad printing consists of engraving an iron plate with the desired drawing. Ink is then placed on the iron plate. Finally, as the name of the technique indicates, a rubber pad is impregnated with the drawing of the iron plate and applied to the selected product.
Pad printing is normally used to personalize small parts; for example, key rings and pens.
On the contrary, screen printing is considered indicated for larger pieces.
Is it very expensive to mark a product with embroidery?
The price can only be determined from the size and colors of the embroidery, since it depends on the number of thread stitches needed to make the marking.
