T-shirt printing machine refers to a digital full-color printing equipment for personalized or small batch printing on ready-made clothes. The T-shirt printing machine can perform plateless color printing on T-shirts of any color such as black, red, white, etc. It is not limited by the batch size. It can be printed in one piece and will not increase the cost of a single piece due to the small batch size. Everyone knows what a T-shirt printing machine is, but they don’t know much about the types of T-shirt printing machines. The editor will briefly explain it to you below.
1. Flat screen printing:
Flat screen printing has three types: manual platen type, semi-automatic flatbed type and fully automatic flatbed type. . However, it is easy to make plates, has large flowers, many colors, can print fine patterns without color transfer, has a large amount of printing paste, and has a three-dimensional effect. It is suitable for printing on woven and knitted fabrics such as silk, cotton, and chemical fibers. Suitable for printing small batches and multiple varieties of high-end fabrics. In other words, the size of flowers for flat screen printing can be determined based on the actual size. Theoretically speaking, all printing sizes (reasonable) can be achieved on flat screens
2. Rotary screen printing:
Rotary screen printing uses a scraper or magnetic rod to make the inside of the rotary screen A printing method in which the color paste is printed onto the fabric under pressure. Rotary screen printing differs from other screen printing methods in several important ways.
3. Thermal transfer printing:
Thermal sublimation transfer printing is often used for transfer printing of polyester. The disadvantage is the cost of plate making. high. Sublimation transfer printing can be divided into offset printing, gravure printing, silk screen printing and data printing according to different printing methods. Thermal transfer printing can be roughly divided into the following three heat transfer methods:
1. Flat plate heat transfer machine actually refers to a heat transfer machine with a heating plate-the working surface is a flat surface Machines are collectively referred to as flatbed heat press machines. It refers to a manual pressing machine. Its working method is the same as that of a high-pressure heat press machine. When working, it needs to be pressed manually. Due to its structure, the pressure is the smallest among all types of heat press machines.
2. The high-pressure heat press machine has a different handle structure design. The same manual operation, when pressed, can produce greater pressure than an ordinary flat-panel heat press machine. The above two types are commonly used in factories because they are cheap, convenient and efficient.
3. The shaking head heat press machine is the model that generates the most pressure among manual heat press machines. Secondly, its appearance design is fashionable and beautiful. Commonly used in personal shops and DIY heat transfer.
4. Direct-injection printing:
Direct-injection printing is a pure cotton direct-injection printing machine, which is done by computer The picture is sent directly to the printer and printed directly on the T-shirt garment or cut piece. This new generation of T-shirt printing method is mostly common in printing processing factories, and small ones are also used in personal entrepreneurship. The work efficiency is more convenient than high pressure pyrography! It is worth noting that digital direct inkjet printing on pure cotton requires very high ink requirements for good results.
