What are the printing techniques for logos
1.Screen printing: Screen printing is one of the oldest printing techniques. To reproduce your design or image on any material, ink is transferred by pressing over the grid and stretching into the frame. Therefore, use a framework to place a pattern and a mesh for each color to be replicated within that framework. The color palette knife passes through the frame, allowing the colors to reproduce the pattern. Your image is transferred onto the fabric, and the color transition in the blank area is suppressed by a special varnish.
2.Digital printing: The working principle of digital printing is more or less similar to a simple household printer, and the design is reproduced through laser jet. The image is created by mixing cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) ink. Use a high-definition plotter to directly print colors onto the surface, achieving particularly bright and charming colors.
3.Heat transfer printing: This method requires an intermediate medium, which is to first print the image and text onto a heat transfer film or paper, and then transfer the pattern onto non-woven fabric by heating the transfer equipment. The commonly used medium in textile printing is heat transfer film. Its advantages are: exquisite printing, rich layering, and comparable to photos. Suitable for small area color image printing. The disadvantage is that the price is high and the printing cost is high.
4.Hot stamping: The scientific name is heat transfer printing, abbreviated as heat transfer printing, commonly known as hot stamping or silver stamping. On the other hand, there is also a cold transfer printing.
5.UV: It is ultraviolet radiation, abbreviated as UV, and "UV transparent oil" is the full name, which means that ink can be dried and cured by exposure to ultraviolet radiation. UV is usually a screen printing process, and now there is also offset printing UV.
6. Embossing and embossing: scientific name is embossing, which is a process that uses pressure to cause local changes in the printed object to form a pattern. It is a process in which the metal plate corrodes and becomes a pressed plate and a base plate for lamination. It is divided into two types: cheap ordinary etching version and expensive laser engraving version. 7. Gluing: Apply a transparent plastic film to the printed paper, which includes crystal film, glossy film, and matte film. In many places, the name may be different and not environmentally friendly.
7. Gravure printing: This process is divided into two steps, which is to first use traditional gravure printing technology to print graphics and text onto a thin film, and then use lamination technology to composite the printed film onto non-woven fabric. In addition, the product has excellent waterproof performance and the durability of the finished product is better than that of non-woven bags produced by other processes. There are two options for thin films: glossy and matte, with matte having a matte effect! The disadvantage is that it conflicts with environmental protection concepts, as the film is difficult to degrade.
8. Watermark printing: Named after its use of water-based elastic adhesive as a printing medium, it is commonly used in textile printing, also known as printing. Mix the color paste with water-based elastic glue during printing. When developing the printing plate, chemical solvents are not used and can be directly rinsed with water. Its characteristics are good coloring power, strong covering and fastness, water resistance, and basically no odor.
