Basic knowledge of novelty printing methods for beginners! Types of printing and points to consider when choosing.
Since the appropriate printing method varies depending on the material, shape, and design content, it is important to understand the basics of printing in order to create more effective novelties.
Each printing method has its own characteristics, with differences in compatibility with materials, the designs that can be expressed, and the quantities that can be accommodated. Main printing methods commonly used for novelties: 1. Silk Screen Printing This method offers high cost performance and is suitable for large-scale printing, making it commonly used for tote bags, drawstring bags, non-woven bags, T-shirts, and more. 2. Full-Color Printing This printing method can reproduce colorful designs, including photographs and gradients, exactly as they are. 3. Foil Stamping A processing method that transfers foil, such as gold, silver, or hologram, onto the material using heat and pressure. 4. UV Printing A printing method that instantly cures ink with ultraviolet light, allowing for direct printing on three-dimensional objects with uneven surfaces or curves. 5. Pad Printing A printing method that uses a soft silicone pad to transfer ink.
