Screen Printing

Although less common since the rise of offset and digital printing, it remains indispensable for some applications. With this technique, all kinds of opaque and transparent labels, injection products, promotional items and many materials can be printed.

Digital Printing

A flexible, practical technique in which ink is sprayed directly onto the printing material. Increasingly widespread in recent years, digital printing is preferred for low-volume jobs or those exceeding standard sheet sizes. Designs and photos prepared on computer are transferred to different materials quickly and with high quality. In terms of speed and quality, digital printing has surpassed many printing technologies.

Block (Emprime) Printing

A hand-applied printing type, using a wooden mould and screen-printing paint. It can be applied to many materials such as alpaca, raschel, satin, polyester and cotton.

How Is Block Printing Done?

Block printing is one of the earliest printing types, done with a mould and silk. First a mould the size of the print area is prepared and silk is stretched over it. The foil of the logo or pattern is placed on the mould; then the paint is poured over it and applied with a squeegee. Photo printing and colour gradients cannot be done in block printing; only standard colours are printed.

Textile printing is thought to have first been done in the Far East, in Indian and Chinese cultures. Recent research has found fabric pieces coloured by methods other than dyeing in Egyptian pyramids and tombs. Colouring of textile surfaces is done by weaving, knitting and printing. Printing is preferred more because weaving and knitting have low production speed, difficult application and limited pattern/colour variety. Printing has high production speed and low cost. In dyeing the entire material is coloured, while in printing only certain areas are coloured.
