What is the best option to use for Full color Printing on the Corporate Polo shirts artwork Imprint ? 

"Screen printing" is frequently used as a general term for the printing of images onto polo-shirts, as well in other clothes. It's not the only method of printing as a substitute, and there are many alternatives when you're looking for an all-over printing. Here's a comparison between screen printing as well as a different method of printing called sublimation for your Corporate Polo shirts.

All Over Sublimation Printing

* The minimum amount to order for sublimation printing is 12 items. There is no limit on color. You can use any color you like.
* Print images that look real.
* Ink will never fade cracks, peels or cracks.

Sublimation ink is a distinct method that requires a printing machine that utilizes special transfer paper and ink. Sublimation printing is a popular method of using inkjets for transfers. Contrary to inkjet which makes use of an uncoated paper ink cartridge that applies ink on the upper layer of the fabric, sublimation, ink is integrated into the fabric.

The process starts with sublimation paper that is coated with ink. Once the transfer paper is applied to the fabric and heated to a certain degree and the ink transforms into gas. The process of heating is employed to accomplish two purposes during this process. One is to convert an ink to gas and the second one is to open up your fabric's pores. that you're pressing the ink to.

After the printer is heated It will continue to press transfer paper onto the fabric. The pressure will be released following which the garment will cool. The ink that is sublimated is capable of returning to its original form. The pores on the garment will become smaller and hold the ink within the polymer's coating. It may sound complicated, but there are numerous benefits to sublimation printing.

Advantages of Sublimation Printing

One of the biggest advantages of printing with sublimation can be the fact that once the process is carried out correctly, the image you print will not fade or discolor. As long as the substrate (the fabric itself) remains intact and not damaged the image will appear fresh and new.

One of the benefits of sublimation printing on your corporate Polo shirts are the fact that your design's scale is able to adapt to the size of the shirt. This ensures uniformity in appearance and design on all kinds of shirts.

Another advantage of sublimation is that it gives a flat look that provides it with an incredibly soft feel. It will be easy to handle since the ink is bonded with the surface and doesn't sit on top. Because it's important to be comfortable for people it can help sublimation printing stand out.

Utilizing this method you can also make full-color transfer. This is an advantage over screen printing using traditional methods since you don't have undergo the additional steps to create a brand new screen for each color you'd like to incorporate for your design.

Limitations of Sublimation Printing

Based on the scientific research that has been conducted on the sublimation printing process, the method can only be used on 100% Polyester clothing or clothes with exclusive coatings of polymer. Another aspect to keep in mind at to be aware of is the fact that sublimation uses transparent inks. This means it's ideal for light or white substrates. Because the same screen is used for the various sizes of shirts you purchase (unless you choose to purchase different items to fit each shirt size) specific design layouts and proportions will vary between sizes.

All Over Screen Printing

* The minimum quantity to order required for printing on screens is 144 pieces.
Print up to six different colors, but generally keep designs at 3-4.
* Highly durable designs using a traditional method.
* Ideal for large-scale orders.

In addition to the newer techniques such as print on demand, many people think about printing on screens as "old old-fashioned," but the traditional method is in use and is well on the market because of the reasons. Screen printing can be utilized in many methods, but the biggest issue is the setup.

Screen printing uses screens to transfer the image onto a garment. After the design is developed, it is then every color is separated into layers, and a screen is created in each of the colors. That means for a design with six colors, six screens are required to be designed. They are then printed layer by layer , making the process long.

However, the majority of the work is the initial setup phase, since it takes a considerable amount of time to design the layout of the various screens. This is the reason why most screen-printed prints are limited to six colors. However the majority of them are restricted to 3 and 1 making them ideal for simple designs. Once your initial setup is complete and the initial setup has been complete, you are able to use screen printing to print shirt designs in large quantities.

Advantages of Screen Printing

The versatility that screen printing provides is unmatched. Screens can be used for an printing method on almost any surface, provided that it's flat. Also, it offers a wide range of possibilities in terms of fabrics for clothing projects. Furthermore, if plan to print a lot of the same design, screen printing could be among the least expensive options. The more you print, the less the cost per item.

This method can also be used when designs are straightforward and don't use many colors or include a large number of elements. This is a great alternative to create logos, names and other images, however it's not the best choice for complex or photographic designs. You can however create gradients using screen printing. If you use the right technique, you will result in crisp, sharp designs.

Screen printing can also result in very durable designs when as compared to digital and heat-pressed designs. Screen printing has the ability to apply layers of ink which are later absorbs by the substrate and when it dries, it stands against direct sunlight and several decades of use.

Limitations of Screen Printing

The primary drawback of over-the-top screen printing lies in the massive amount of production required to cover the costs of setting it up. If you choose to print just in a small quantities, you'll be spending more on each garment , and that's why Aquaholic Gifts Company requires an minimum order of at least 144 units of these corporate polo shirts.
Another thing to take into consideration is the length of time required to set up screen printing. This could delay the time needed to get your order delivered. Screen printing projects may be more time-consuming than other printing methods could. Thisis in contrast to the absence of detail and lack of color options, can prompt clients to think of alternative ways of printing.
