Umbrella printing method introduction

The most commonly used umbrella printing methods are screen printing, offset printing, and digital thermal transfer. Of course, each printing method has its own advantages.

The silk screen umbrella is relatively cheap, but there are some restrictions on the color. If there are many colors and there are gradient color effects, it may not be possible. Offset printing has some advantages over silk printing in color, but there is a layer of gum on the surface of the fabric. It will stick together, and after opening again, the colors may be staggered, and the offset printing cost is higher. The advantage of digital thermal transfer is that it has no restrictions on color, high color reproduction, and can be printed in small batches, but the disadvantage is that the cost is much higher than silk screen.

At present, the most advanced printing technology is digital thermal transfer printing. As the name implies, digital printing is definitely involved with digital equipment. It is because of the close cooperation between the computer and the printer to complete the personalized pattern printing. Therefore, the name comes from. Many customers think that the cost of thermal transfer umbrellas is high, but next, I will give you an account, I think everyone may change the previous concept. If an umbrella factory receives an order for 100 umbrellas, the pattern is so complicated that it must be printed with digital thermal transfer. At this time, there are only two options: open printing and digital printing. If the color is too complicated, you will have to print in four colors. The opening fee for a color is at least 1600 yuan, and the cost for four colors is 6400 yuan (this depends on the size of the version). Let's take another look at the digital printing, 100 pieces, 10 yuan per square, if it is a 21-inch umbrella, according to its printing area, about one square, 10 yuan per piece, and the sublimation printing with the open version, its version fee It was daunting. So many friends say that digital printing is expensive. I can only say that it is expensive compared to the fabrics you print thousands of kilometers. However, if you really have thousands of kilometers, we will recommend you to choose other more economical printing methods. So the most suitable is the best.
