Do You Know the Difference Between Sublimation Printing and Screen Printing ?

Fabric printing, sublimation printing and screen printing as the main two ways, respectively, occupy a significant market share. Especially sublimation printing, not only in the clothing printing area occupies a large market share, in many other areas also has a wide range of applications. For example, in the outdoor advertising print, banner printing, some crafts like mobile phone shell, mug, metal materials, porcelain plate, porcelain cup and so on have a wide range of applications.


So what is the difference between sublimation printing and screen printing? Although they can be printed clothing, but obviously the two are very different, the following were introduced to these two different printing methods.

1, what is screen printing:
Screen printing is a stencil printing, it is printed with India, embossing, gravure together known as the four printing methods. The stencil printing includes transcripts, engravings, stencils and screen printing. The principle of stencil printing is: the printing plate (paper version or other version of the foundation to produce through the ink hole) in the printing, through a certain pressure to the ink through the hole version of the hole transferred to the substrate (paper, ceramics ), The formation of images or text.

Printing through the squeegee squeeze, so that the ink through the graphic part of the mesh transferred to the substrate, the formation of the same as the original manuscript. Screen printing equipment is simple, easy to operate, printing, plate making simple and low cost, strong adaptability. Screen printing applications Wide range of printed materials are: color oil painting, posters, business cards, binding cover, product signs and printing and dyeing textiles.

2, what is sublimation printing:
Sublimation technology is the use of thermal energy to transfer the pigment to the print media, the color of each color by the print head temperature control, the maximum can have 256 levels. Because the pigment is applied to the paper by the sublimation process, the three primary colors are fused to form a continuous gradation, much better than the ink droplets for inkjet printing. In contrast to the printing effect, the color sublimation printer can be said to be the best partner for digital cameras, so this printer is often referred to as color digital photo printer, especially for printing when the delicate delicate skin texture requirements, Also has a long-term preservation is not easy to fade characteristics.

Sublimation printing is the portrait, landscape, text and other graphic use of sublimation ink with inkjet printer to mirror the way to reverse the printing on the sublimation paper, and then heat transfer equipment heated to 200 degrees Celsius, hot sublimation The paper's sublimation ink will penetrate into the substrate in the form of gasification, so that the image of the sublimation of the image color realistic transfer to the textile, porcelain cup, porcelain plate, porcelain plate, metal, advertising and other materials A new process.


3, sublimation printing and screen printing the difference between:
(1) different ink: Sublimation printing using sublimation ink, screen printing using ink. High precision ink, high ability to cover, but the environmental protection is good, but the environmental protection is low, pollution is serious, there is taste; sublimation ink environmental protection is high, green pollution-free, print out no smell, but the cover is not strong ink.

(2) the scope of application: hot sublimation printing a wide range of applications, can be applied to screen printing can be applied to color oil painting, posters, business cards, binding cover, commodity signs and printing and dyeing textiles. In general, the sublimation of a wider range of applications, in line with the current requirements of environmental protection and small batch production, more and more manufacturers have begun to use sublimation printing.

(3) printer is different: Sublimation printing using sublimation printer, like Epson, Mimaki, Roland, etc., generally use a wide inkjet printer; screen printing does not require the use of printers, it uses screen printing plate Graphic part of the mesh through the ink, non-graphic part of the basic principles of non-ink through the printing.

In general, sublimation printing and screen printing have contributed to the development of the printing industry, but with the concept of environmental protection enjoys popular support, personalized consumption, small batch production become the mainstream of the times, in the future, sublimation printing is bound to be more and more The more people use, this is the economic and the development needs of the times.
