Recycled cotton shopping bag - VIVEKA COLOUR (MO2302-60)

Screen printing consists in transferring graphics to the product using specially prepared screens.
Making a print consists in forcing the paint through sieves directly onto the object, then exposing it to harden it. Screen printing is characterized by very good quality and durability. An ideal method for printing on cotton, polyester, paper or plastic.

ADVANTAGES:
• permanent marking technique
• good color reproduction
• fast printing for large runs

DISADVANTAGES:
• each color needs a separate matrix
• in the case of several-colored graphics, shifts in printing may occur

In this method, the paint is first applied to the transfer paper, and then, using a thermal press, to the material. The transfer press, with appropriate pressure and temperature, heats the paint onto the product. We use it on mainly textile materials (cotton, polyester, etc.)

ADVANTAGES:

• application durability

• high color saturation

• attractive appearance

DISADVANTAGES:

• additional pre-press costs

• no possibility to make tonal transitions

• a limited number of colors

• a time-consuming method

• the cost of prepress

This method comes from hand-embroidery that was already used in ancient times. The whole process begins with the creation of an embroidery software. Afterward the pattern is embroidered on fabric.
