Would you think that 1200dpi and 1200dpi digital printing is the same? You probably would.
But actually no, not even close!
Especially when it comes to photo-realistic printing and skin tones the print quality must be on point. The confusing part is that even though both prints shown in the photo have a resolution of 1200 dpi, they are obviously not the same. But how does that come?
DIGITRAN digital heat transfers are produced under highly controlled printing conditions. This enables us to print high resolution heat transfers with accurate color placement on our carrier material. Once these transfers are printed, they will be converted to compact rolls which will then be shipped to wherever they are needed. So, the only step left is to apply the preprinted image to the product.
The DTP (Direct To Product) inkjet technology is a little more difficult to handle as it must deal with little droplets of ink which can be as small as 2 picolitres when used for high resolution printing. From leaving the nozzle to being cured directly on the moving product these must travel through air, land on a varying surface, overcome static charges, and try not to interact with the other nearby droplets. Sounds challenging, right?
So even though both prints might have 1200 “dots per inch”, it says no more than the number of colored dots printed. Not where these dots will be on the product.
Besides many other factors that can influence the heat transfer process, the three most important ones are heat, time, and pressure. No matter if it is a textile transfer or a transfer for packaging applications, you should know about the effect of these parameters and how a transfer is affected by them.
Textile heat transfers come in three technologies when it comes to peeling. This can be “hot peel”, “cold peel” or “hot split”. But what is the difference between them?
Airless dispensers are up and coming, just like our digital printing solutions for them.
For mandrel carried products such as airless dispensers, shells, or cosmetic tubes, #DIGITRAN offers a range of digital heat transfer printing solutions. Read on to know which these are:
Ceramic bottles are perfect to give your spirits a unique look.
Not only do they look different than all those glass bottles, but they will also protect your drink from sunlight!
Furthermore, you don’t need a primer, curing, or drying. Once the image is applied the bottle you can be fill or pack and ship it right away.
As heat transfer technology in general is well established for printing mascara bottles, the digital version by DIGITRAN makes it even better!
Here are 7 reasons why:
