  2. 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.

    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.

    Plain weave cotton, discharge printed; overall: 88.3 x 99.1 cm (34 3/4 x 39 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of Mrs. Henry Chisholm 1937.696 [ 1 ] Discharge printing is a textile printing technique that involves the application of a discharging agent to strip dye from already-dyed cloth in order to produce a printed pattern, which can be ...

  5. Calendering (textiles) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendering_(textiles)

    With textiles, fabric is passed between calender rollers at high temperatures and pressures. Calendering is used on fabrics such as moire to produce its watered effect and also on cambric and some types of sateens. In preparation for calendering, the fabric is folded lengthwise with the front side, or face, inside, and stitched together along ...

  6. Dye-sublimation printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye-sublimation_printing

    Dye-sublimation printing (or dye-sub printing) is a term that covers several distinct digital computer printing techniques that involve using heat to transfer dye onto a substrate. The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was thought to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage. This ...

    Methods are used to "resist" or prevent the dye from reaching all the cloth, thereby creating a pattern and ground. The most common forms use wax, some type of paste, or a mechanical resist that manipulates the cloth such as tying or stitching. Resist techniques include screen printing, tie-dye, ikat, and batik.

  8. Dye-transfer process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye-transfer_process

    The matrices, which are relief gelatine images on a film support (one for each subtractive primary color) absorb dye in proportion to the optical densities of the gelatin relief image. Successive placement of the dyed film matrices, one at a time, "transfers" each primary dye by physical contact from the matrix to a mordanted, gelatin-coated ...

  9. Direct-to-garment printing - Wikipedia

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

    Direct-to-garment printing (DTG) is a process of printing on textiles using specialized aqueous ink jet technology. DTG printers typically have a platen designed to hold the garment in a fixed position, and the printer inks are jetted or sprayed onto the textile by the print head. DTG typically requires that the garment be pre-treated with a ...
