For printing shaped products, there are quite a few ways to get things done from printing technologies of the yesteryears. Silkscreen along with pad printing & direct inkjet printing are popular ways that are highly sought after by business owners.
But there is an innovative technology that is not quite common but has a lot of advantages. Digital heat transfer! Yes, you heard it right. Here this article we will discuss mainly heat transfer label decorating in a couple of steps & it separates the actual printing from decorating.
The downside to these conventionally printed transfers is that they are only available in high quantities of several hundred thousand. To overcome such issues digital heat transfer technology brings about a more accurate solution. However, these can be printed with high print resolution as well as eco-friendly technologies.
It begins with actual printing. Here clients are supposed to send across the artworks to the respective digital heat transfer company. In the best case, a press department checks & optimizes the respective files for the printing press. As said by Heat Transfer Label manufacturers making use of up-to-date equipment & print quality of 1200 DPI is always a possibility.
Prints are supposed to be designed with nice gradients & fine texture & even text as small as one pt. After going through the prepress the artwork that is filed is printed on the career material. In maximum cases, another step in printing workflow adds adhesive to the transfers. These adhesives increase the later adhesion to the respective material which is to be applied. These materials generally include varied kinds of plastic and non-plastic materials like glass along with wood or metals.
Once the transfer for the customers arrives they are generally inserted in heat transfer machines. These ranges generally from affordable & easy hand-fed machines to automated & safe high ended equipment that are used extensively. Once positioned in a hot rubber coated plate or roller will press the print against the respective product.
Due to the applied heat & pressure of the heat transfer label, the decal gets activated & adheres to the product surface. After cooling the career material automatically peels off & thereby it results in a decorated product. Though it sounds like a long and time taking procedure decoration process less than a couple of seconds.
First is its unique process that separates the printing from the decorating. Due to this, the whole complexity of printing – from prepress to colour management, running and maintaining the printing equipment, handling of raw materials and all other parts of this puzzle – will be taken care of by someone else. Second, digital heat transfers can reach an exceptional print quality that makes new designs and ideas printable. From security features to photorealistic designs, anything is possible that makes the product stand out.
In a nutshell, technology is proven to go the extra mile.
