The film transfer printing process that became popular at the end of 2019 has developed rapidly in the T-shirt printing market and has had a great impact on traditional heat transfer printing, lettering film printing, and direct-injection printing. Why digital heat transfer technology is so quickly recognized by the market is because compared with traditional processes, it has the following advantages:
1. Digital heat transfer technology VS traditional heat transfer process
Traditional heat transfer requires opening the screen, adjusting colors during production, and debugging equipment for color registration. Therefore, the production cycle is relatively long and is suitable for mass production. Digital heat transfer uses digital color matching and digital printing. You can print as much as you need. It has high production efficiency and is suitable for small and medium-sized batches. But now the market situation is that orders are fragmented, digital production is closely following the market demand, and the demand for digital heat transfer is increasing.
2. Digital heat transfer technology VS lettering film heat transfer
Printing and lettering film heat transfer requires printing, lamination, engraving, removal, and heat transfer. The process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and there is a problem that the carving knife cannot carve corners. It requires manual processing, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. After the advent of digital heat transfer technology, there is no need to remove the expense to promote the advantages, and the efficiency is greatly improved.
3. What is DTF heat transfer printing process?
DTF heat transfer is a printing process that prints images on PET heat transfer film, adds some high-viscosity hot-melt powder to the printed image through a powder shaker, and then transfers it to the fabric through high-temperature pressing.
4. DTF technology VS DTG technology
The emergence of DTF technology has seriously impacted the DTG printing market for T-shirts. It has had an impact, but a situation of coexistence has emerged. The DTF process is simple and the printing fastness is high, but there are problems such as poor air permeability and uneven texture, limiting the overall impact of DTF on the DTG market.
5. Application scope of digital heat transfer
Heat transfer printing machines are widely used in the printing industry. Heat press machines are used for clothing hot stamping and metal photos, knitted T-shirts, denim, plush, toys, shoes, backpacks, various nylon hats, calendars, hanging scrolls, hanging bags, medals, gold and silver sculpture photos, ceramic tiles, glass, wood grain wood blocks, etc. are all indispensable with the contribution of heat press machines.
