2. Screen printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_printing

   Screen printing is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink (or dye) onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil.A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen in a "flood stroke" to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact.

3. Thermal-transfer printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal-transfer_printing

   Thermal-transfer printing is done by melting wax within the print heads of a specialized printer. The thermal-transfer print process utilises three main components: a non-movable print head, a carbon ribbon (the ink) and a substrate to be printed, which would typically be paper, synthetics, card or textile materials.

4. Heat transfer vinyl - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_vinyl

   Heat transfer vinyl comes in single colors, in the specialty options listed above, in full-color pattern options, and in a printable version that must be used with solvent ink & a solvent printer. It is best used for simple designs with minimal colors since each individual color or pattern used in the design must be cut, weeded, and heat pressed.

5. Textile printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_printing

   A similar printing method: Direct-To-Film printing (DTF printing) can also make the digital textile printing. The difference from DTG printing is that DTF printing first prints on a special transfer film while DTG printing prints on the substrate. One of the advantage of DTF printing is that it is more cost effective.

6. Dye-sublimation printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye-sublimation_printing

   The term was later also applied to the indirect sublimation transfer printing process, which uses a standard ink-jet printer to deposit sublimation-capable ink onto a transfer sheet. The printed transfer sheet is then pressed with the substrate with heat, transferring the dye to the substrate, such as plastic or fabric, via sublimation.

7. Direct-to-film printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-to-film_printing

   This printing method is used on textiles including apparel such as T-shirts, jeans, jackets, hoodies, sportswear, and accessories like bags and belts. [citation needed] DTF is favored for its cost-effectiveness and capability to produce high-resolution prints. Specifically, for small batch printing, Direct to Film (DTF) printing is cost-effective.
