Compared with sublimation printing, direct to textile printing is a kind of new technology. And there are many customers asked me about the direct to textile printer recently. Then, what’s the difference between them ?
1. The quality of print out
No matter what kind of printing method we choose, the printing quality is the
most important factor. The big advantage of sublimation transfer printing is image quality. With transfer paper, the ink won’t penetrate far into the substrate, remaining close to the surface. In contrast, direct disperse penetrates further into the fabric, which—much like inkjet printing on plain paper—means that fine detail is lost and colors become less vivid.
2. The applications
Wide applications are another advantage of sublimation transfer printing. You can work with any kind of surface with a polyester coating: banners, mugs, flip-flops, you name it. But the applications of direct printing are limited.
3. Counterintuitively
Counterintuitively is also the advantage of transfer process, perhaps—it makes color management easier. In dye-sub printing, color profiles primarily focus on the transfer paper, not the final substrate.
4. The budget
Generally speaking, the direct to textile printing can help us save costs.First,
it don’t need use sublimation paper. And secondly, you are often putting down more ink when using direct disperse.
5. The advertising printing
For direct sublimation printing, it does have advantages for specific applications, especially soft signage, flags, and banners. The primary advantage of direct disperse for these applications is deep penetration of the ink into, and saturation of, the fabric. You do lose sharpness compared to transfer, but since signage and banners are viewed from a distance, so they may not need to be sharp.
No matter what kind of printing methods you choose, both of them has their own advantages and disadvantages. Just choose the one suitable for you.
