Screen Printing Plexiglass

Screen Printing Plexiglass

The best way to print plexiglass is screen printing. Your standard screen printing tools can be used to screen print plexiglass. When screen printing plexiglass you must give the ink a considerable amount of time to dry so the ink becomes hard and it will maintain the integrity and durability of your print. You also must use specialty inks that are made just for screen printing plexiglass. If you do not use the special screen printing inks made for plexiglass it will take double the amount of time to dry and will not last as long.

Screen Printing Plexiglass

How do you screen print plexiglass you may ask? Well to start you must create an image that you would like screen printed onto your desired piece of plexiglass. Once you have created your image that you would like screen printed onto plexiglass you then will send the image from the computer to a film printer and print out films for your image. There will be a film for each color in your design. Once your films have been printed then they will be taken to be burned into a screen. Once your screens are burned you will then take it to press and screens print your image onto your desired plexiglass. Then you let your image dry to the plexiglass which could take a bit of time. Pretty easy process huh!

Sublimation Printing Fabric

Sublimation Printing Fabric

Are you tired of getting a fabric printing and eventually having the print crack and fall apart? Why not try sublimation printing? Sublimation printing is a printing process that allows the ink to be printed into the fabric and not on it. This is a very simple technique that is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure and time. There are many different sublimation printing fabrics that can be used from a t-shirt to leggings and even a sports bra can be sublimated!

Sublimation Printing Fabric

Also there are two different ways you can sublimate fabric. There is cut and sew, which is when a garment is sublimated before it is sewn together and then there is when a garment is sublimated when it’s already sewn together. When trying to figure out what sublimation printing fabric you want to use you need to know that the fabric must be polyester or a polyester treated fabric. The material may also have a high blend of polyester or nylon or spandex which is among the polyester family.

Your sublimation printing fabric may also have a percentage of cotton in it but you need to know that it will not come out as great and it reduces the bright eye popping colors in the end result. But in today’s world there are so many polyester fabrics that there’s no way you can’t find something you like.  With sublimation printing fabric you also must know that for the best quality the fabric must be white. Don’t what your fabric white? Not a problem you can sublimate the fabric any color you’d like from green to black.
