Apparels Printing
a) Silkscreen
A print made using a stencil process in which an image or design is superimposed on a very fine mesh screen and printing ink is squeegeed onto the printing surface through the area of the screen that is not covered by the stencil Silkscreen printing is usually used for designs with solid colours (no colour gradient).
The cost of using silkscreen print will depend on the number of colours of the design and the size of the design.
b) Embroidery
The art of working raised and ornamental designs in threads of silk, cotton, or other material, upon any woven fabric with a computerized embroidery machine/ by hand.
Prices for embroidery are dependent on three factors:
1) the number of stitches (size of your logo),
2) the number of colours within the design,
3) quantity (economies of scale).
c) Heat Transfer – Laser transfer
Heat transfer can be used to print custom printed graphic designs and photographs on 100% cotton and cotton-blended T-shirts (50/50) and other fiber materials.
The basic concept is very simple. A standard inkjet printer and regular inks are used to print on heat transfer paper. The heat transfer paper has a film on it and this is the side that is printed on. After printing, the transfer is placed on the shirt and both are heated in a heat press with medium to high pressure. When the heating cycle ends, the head of the press is lifted and the transfer is complete. Laser transfer is good for printing on shirts for short term uses as it is not as lasting as vinyl transfer. This kind of print can last for 10 to 20 washes. The cost of laser transfer will depend on the size and shape of your designs.
d) Heat Transfer – vinyl transfer
The transfer is put on a shirt and heated in a heat press, the ink becomes soft and sticky. When the heat is removed, the ink is stuck on the shirt so tightly that the paper back is easily removed and nothing remains on the shirt except the image.
Vinyl transfer can be last for 50 to 100 washes. The cost of laser transfer will depend on the size and shape of your designs
