Digital fabric printing utilizes computer-controlled printers for transferring the designs or images stored in the digital files into the fabric. This makes people create complex designs with ease and more quickly.  

There are different types of printing methods and techniques, depending on your requirements. But each of the methods has its own pros and cons.

What are the Most Common Fabric Printing Techniques?

Fabric printing Canada is a common method to get your preferred design on the fabric. Some common printing methods nowadays are screen printing, inkjet printing, and dye sublimation. 

Screen Printing

It is an analog fabric printing method that has been around in the industry for years. It is the process of spraying an ink layer over a screen to transfer the ink into a fabric piece. The screen is also known as a stencil and a different stencil is required for each design.

In the past, a large number of prints were required for the process to be cost-effective. The technology has given way to more reasonable, flexible screen printing processes.  

Screen printing has 2 types – rotary and flatbed. The latter one is a semi-continuous process which means that it is an automated version of the manually operated screen printing process. In the contrast, the former one uses cylindrical screens that get rotated in a fixed position with the sponge placed in the stencil. The fabric moves at a fixed speed between the screen and an impression roller that is being located below the screen.

Pros of Screen Printing
  • ● Affordable for larger runs
  • ● Flexible design placement
  • ● Detailed images and clean-cut lines
  • ● Ink gets penetrated into the fabric
  • ● Color will long last
Cons of Screen Printing
  • ● It is not affordable for multiple color runs
  • ● Only simple shapes get printed
  • ● The technique is not environment friendly
  • ● A complicated process and takes a long time for printer setup

Direct to Fabric Printing

This technique involves the transfer of ink to the fabric, which is done by the printer. This is done by using inkjet technology. The most detailed designs can be printed with this technique, and the color palette is virtually continual.

Pros of Direct Printing
  • ● The technique allows for single pieces, mid as well as long-run productions
  • ● Different type of fabrics can be used for printing, like silk, nylon, and cotton
  • ● Wide-ranging color choices
  • ● Customizing designs is easy
Cons of Direct Printing
  • ● Not affordable for larger runs
  • ● There is the control for where the designs to be placed
  • ● Fragile links
  • ● Limited result quality

Dye Sublimation Printing

Dye sublimation clothing printing is one of the most modern techniques for fabric printing like custom sublimation shirts. During this process, heat and pressure get applied to transform the die into a gas. The gas infuses the surface and gets attached to polymer-based fibers, resulting in enduring high-quality images.

Pros of Dye Sublimation
  • ● Easy setup
  • ● The virtually extensive color palette
  • ● Colors don’t need to get separated
  • ● Work well for short runs
  • ● Image and fabric is no different as the dye gets merged into the fabric
  • ● The technique allows highly detailed designs
  • ● The image gets printed to the edge of an item
  • ● Continuous tones can be easily achieved, resulting in a photo like finishing without utilizing a special technique
Cons of Dye Sublimation
  • ● It doesn’t work as a cost-effective option as the production volume increases
  • ● Only polyester fabric can be used, which is a contributor material

Direct to Fabric or Direct Disperse Dye Sublimation

A direct-to-fabric dye sublimation technique has been developed. This method reduces the transfer of paper, but the printing material is still required to be run through a heat process to fixing the dyes into the fabric. The fabric needs to be pre-treated for the equipment to print directly onto it. 

Pros of Direct to Fabric Dye Sublimation
  • ● Easy setup
  • ● Two-sided printing is allowed
  • ● One step from the production chain gets removed due to no longer need for transfer paper
Cons of Direct to Fabric Dye Sublimation
  • ● High chances of color bleeding
  • ● The fabric needs to be pre-treated
  • ● The final product needs to be washed if get used to outdoors
  • ● The final colors are not brittle and bright

Screen printing and direct to fabric inkjet printing are best for the fabric that gets printed to create garments. The dye sublimation technique is used for wide-format printing.
