What types of printing are available for custom gift umbrella

      Many companies have chosen to advertise umbrellas in order to highlight the role of publicity advertising umbrellas above the printed logo contact information, etc., and some digital printing, various types of pictures, animation, secondary products. But the technical skills of the printing process will affect the lasting effect of the picture on this umbrella does not fade. Below we introduce several printing processes

1. Manual screen printing of printing process

      Most advertising umbrellas use manual silk screen printing. First, make a film of the content that the customer wants to print, and then use the film to expose the manual silk screen screen. Silk screen is to print the umbrella cloth by the way of oil leakage on the screen. The pictures and texts are printed on the screen. Oil leaks where there are pictures and texts, and no oil leaks where there are no pictures and texts. Manual silk screen printing is characterized by lower opening costs, higher labor costs and ink costs. It is suitable for printing a single small pattern, and also suitable for the printing of simple and small patterns on a full page, but not suitable for printing on a full page, large area and many colors. The method of silk-printing patterns on umbrellas is to first cut the umbrella cloth into triangles, and place the triangles one by one on the table for printing. You can also cut the whole cloth into open sections, and use a large silk screen. print.

2. Thermal transfer method of printing process
     The feature of thermal transfer printing is to produce dot-type gravure electro-engraving plates. The cost of plate making is relatively high (usually a color is about 2000~3000 yuan, depending on the size of the umbrella), which is suitable for large orders. Thermal transfer printing is divided into two parts: transfer film printing and transfer processing. Transfer film printing uses halftone printing (resolution up to 300dpi). The pattern is printed on the surface of the film in advance. The printed patterns are rich in layers, bright in color, and ever-changing. , The color difference is small, the reproducibility is good, and it can meet the requirements of the designer, and it is suitable for mass production.
       Install the thermal transfer film on a thermal transfer hot stamping machine for printing. The operation is simple, and the pattern is formed at one time, without the need for color transfer processing. The exquisite pattern on the transfer film can be transferred through the thermal transfer machine (heat and pressure). On the surface of the umbrella cloth, the ink layer is integrated with the surface of the product after forming, which is vivid and beautiful, which greatly improves the grade of the product. However, due to the high technical content of the process, many materials need to be imported, and the effect pattern is more natural and clear. Moreover, it will not be deformed after printing, and the hand feel is the same as that of printed and dyed cloth, and it will not harden. It is more suitable for full-page, complex and difficult printing patterns. For complex patterns and design patterns with a variety of colors, it is better to choose thermal transfer. When customers customize large-scale advertising umbrellas with exquisite patterns, iridescent umbrellas are made by heat transfer printing methods.

      But why do people still choose thermal transfer when the number is large? In addition to quality issues, the most important issue is the output ratio. Thermal transfer printing can print thousands of yards of fabric and thousands of umbrellas in one hour. For umbrellas with a large number of orders, umbrella manufacturers usually use thermal transfer printing. Way of printing. Spreading the cost of plate making on each umbrella, the cost is not high.
3. Digital heat transfer printing of printing process
     The characteristic of digital thermal transfer printing is that there is no need to make electric engraving plates, but digital thermal transfer printing can only print dozens of umbrellas in one hour. The output is very low, so if you just make some small-quantity, commemorative, personalized boutique umbrellas, choosing digital printing will save the cost of making electro-engraving plates, and it is more practical to calculate the cost without making plates.
