Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Up to 5 colours (depending on item), exceptions possible
Pad printing is a printing process that can transfer a 2-D image onto a 3-D object. This is accomplished using an indirect offset printing process that involves an image being transferred from the printing plate (cliché) via a silicone pad onto a substrate (surface to be printed). Pad printing is used for printing on otherwise unprintable products in many industries. Up to 5 colours including white, exceptions possible
Screenprint transfer is a production method of applying an image (on paper) to a surface by using heat pressure onto the material. The membrane cushion makes sure that the pressure spreads evenly over the whole material. It is most commonly used for decorations on polyester, pvc, cotton and similar materials. Usually up to 5 colours.
Digital transfer is a production method of applying an image (on paper) to a surface by using heat pressure onto the material. The membrane cushion makes sure that the pressure spreads evenly over the whole material. It is most commonly used for decorations on polyester, pvc, cotton and similar materials. With the digital print methos a four colour process (CMYK) is used, so that you can create any possible colour.
Laser engraving is the practice of using lasers to engrave an object. The technique is very complex, a computer drives the laser head through a very fast movable mirror. The following products can be lasered: metal, lacquer finished products, glass, wood, leather and some kinds of plastic. The laser takes away only the upper surface, whatever is below will appear. Colour depending on the material underneath. The laser takes just the surface away.
Embroidery is to use a specially designed embroidery or sewing-embroidery machine to automatically create a design from a pre-made pattern that is put into the machine. Most embroidery machines are driven by computers that read digitized embroidery files created by special software. Price is already up to 12 colours, but depending on the quantity of stitches
Doming is done by a printed label (any shape) covered with a sticky fluid. The fluid is getting hard after a while - the back of the label is sticked into a form - like on a key chain. The Epoxy Doming is looking a little bit like 3D Logo.
Ceramic Transfer is printed via screen print on a paper (colour by colour) - then wet sticked on the ceramic material (nearly all positions are possible) - then is runs through an oven - to connect the print with the ceramic surface.
Colour Changing Ceramic Transfer - this method is the same like the standard Ceramic Transfer - but the colours are different - they are magic - like a chameleon can change its colours. The print colour looks e.g. black - but through the hot water which will be filled in - it changes the colour to e.g. blue. Funny effects are possible.
Label printing is the reproduction of digital images on a label. It is generally used for products which are too difficult to print or when the final customer doesn‘t like to get his present printed. Thus a four colour process (CMYK) is used, so that you can create any possible colour.
