Information for screen printing

Direct printing is the usual screen printing process. Here we can realize up to 14 colors simultaneously in one printing pass. During this process, the paint is squeegeed through a sieve and thus applied directly to the textile. In order to be able to print colored textiles brilliantly, an additional underlay of the print motif is recommended. The color set, also known as 4-color halftone printing, consists of the four colors cyan (blue), magenta (red), yellow (yellow) and black (black - also known as "depth"). By using these colors pictures can be realized.

The color set described can only be used on light textiles (white and natural). The implementation of an image motif on a dark background represents a completely different challenge and requires a completely different type of print implementation, separation printing. With the help of special software, the motif to be printed is converted into true colors. The individual colors are separated and finally printed color by color. This process can be implemented with up to 14 individual colors.

SUBLIMATION PRINT

Sublimation describes the transition from the solid state of aggregation to the gaseous one.

The sublimation ink is printed onto a backing paper using a special inkjet printer. The motif is then transferred to the textile using a transfer press with heat (approx. 200 degrees) and pressure. The color pigments penetrate the fabric and mix with the polyester coating of the material. The surface of the textile is not changed, so that no paint application can be felt.

advantages

• Perfect for colorful prints on white functional textiles
• Ideal for individual pieces
• No upfront costs
• Pressure is not noticeable
• The prints do not wash out and retain their brilliance
• any type of image file can be used

disadvantage

• Only light textiles can be printed
• Only textiles containing polyester (at least 65%) can be printed

DIGITAL DIRECT PRINTING

This makes it possible for the first time to realize brilliant, true-to-detail 4C graphics in a direct print. This printing technique is suitable from sample collection to series production - there are no limits to your creativity.

With digital direct printing (DTG - direct to garmin), ink is applied directly to the textile using a precision print head and then fixed in the fiber in a drying tunnel with 160 degrees of heat.

In addition to color gradients, shadows and the finest details, the number of colors in digital direct printing is almost unlimited. With a resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 pixels, we create a photo-realistic representation of your motifs, even for small runs.

areas of application

• Top for many colors and gradients on light-colored textiles, since it is the cheapest and highest-quality process even for small runs.
• Very suitable for small, one-time runs with many colors, even with dark textiles.
• For customers for whom a good "grip" is important because you hardly feel the direct prints.

advantages

• No more restrictions on the number of colors
• Gradients and shadows are possible
• Photorealistic representation
• Once the print data has been created, it is 100% retrievable at any time
• Very good wash resistance
• With white or very light-colored shirts, the "hand" does not change at all, you do not feel the pressure.

disadvantage

• Setup costs per motif, as the printer requires a special data format

Dark fabrics may have pre-treatment stains that will disappear after the first wash. New text

Information for embroidery

Adding embroidery to a textile is certainly the highest quality type of refinement.

An embroidery file can be made from almost any graphic, even blurred or heavily pixelated data can be converted into an embroidery file. Due to a very large selection of colored yarns, there are hardly any color limits. Stick can also be combined very effectively with various printing processes.

With our in-house embroidery we are able to produce up to 500 pieces a day.

Application areas:

Stick can be used anywhere you want it to look chic. Terrycloth, fleece and all high-pile materials can usually only be embroidered, as other prints do not hold there. Embroidery applications are also often found in the healthcare sector (doctors, hospital/practice staff) and in the catering trade, since hygiene regulations require clothing to be washed at a temperature of at least 60 degrees.

advantages

• The washing resistance of the embroidered textiles is not restricted in any way
• Ideal for small, recurring quantities
• only very low initial costs, which are only incurred once.
• Any type of image files can be used

disadvantage

• the larger the motif, the more expensive it becomes

It is only stitchable to a certain level of detail. The more delicate the motif, the more difficult it becomes. New text

data system:

• No bleed allowances, except for hoisting flags of 5 cm all around

• There must be no visible or transparent objects outside

of the document format

• Clipping path: we want your data to be clipped to contour

or plotted, please create an appropriate contour

in vector format with the following values: 1pt strong and

Create 1% Yellow as a full tone, call it Cut Contour

(see data sheet "CUT"), create trim

Colours:

• Only colors of the CMYK color space (Euro scale) can be printed

• Please mark special colors (Pantone, HKS) as such,

they are reproduced as realistically as possible using CMYK

• Black: deep black: 4 colors C 50%, M 50%, Y 50%, K 100%

Shades of grey: 1 color

• RGB data cannot be printed, it must pass through it in

be converted to CMYK

• please note that monitor displays for the

color assessment are irrelevant

File size/minimum resolution:

Viewing distance Data resolution 1:1 Data resolution 1:10

0-2m 120dpi 1200dpi

5m 50dpi 500dpi

File size/minimum resolution:

• CMYK Tiff files (please use LZW compression)

• PDF, JPG, AI • No Excel, Word, Cad, Corel Draw, Power Point data

• Any additional costs for the data conversion will be charged

Vector graphic:

• Please do not convert the object or export frame into crop marks!

• Convert fonts to paths

• do not set any objects to overprint, as these are affected by the

printing machine cannot be interpreted and are therefore omitted

proof/proof:

• A binding printout is required for color-related orders

• best control option through professionally created proofs,

for difficult motifs we recommend a machine proof,

Printouts from uncalibrated devices are completely unsuitable as color specifications

reprint:

• Please let us know if it is a reprint.

Then we need an original sample. minor

Unfortunately, color deviations can occur over longer periods of time

don't avoid.
