2. Heat press - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_press

   A heat press is a machine engineered to imprint a design or graphic on a substrate, such as a t-shirt, with the application of heat and pressure for a preset period of time. While heat presses are often used to apply designs to fabrics , specially designed presses can also be used to imprint designs on mugs, plates, jigsaw puzzles, caps, and ...

   In addition, pre-treatment is typically applied to the garment before printing. The pre-treatment is heat-pressed into the custom t-shirt causing the fibers of the shirt to lay down. [2] The pre-treatment also allows the water-based inks to bond more fully to the garment. This is especially important when using white ink on dark garments.

4. Digital textile printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_textile_printing

   Digital textile printing is described as any ink jet based method of printing colorants onto fabric. Most notably, digital textile printing is referred to when identifying either printing smaller designs onto garments (T-shirts, dresses, promotional wear; abbreviated as DTG, which stands for Direct to garment printing) and printing larger designs onto large format rolls of textile.

5. 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 ...

6. 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.

7. Thermal printing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_printing

   Thermal printing (or direct thermal printing) is a digital printing process which produces a printed image by passing paper with a thermochromic coating, commonly known as thermal paper, over a print head consisting of tiny electrically heated elements. The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an image.
