The feature of watermarking flags ?
Due to the color separation process, watermark flags have restrictions on colors. The production requires complex processes such as color separation, color correction, publishing, screen making, printing, printing, and drying. During the production process, the width of the printing platen is involved. Setting, the preparation of printing paste, the selection of squeegee and post-treatment color fixation, washing, ironing and smoothing. Then cut the seam to make the finished flag. While ensuring the size of the flag, pay more attention to the sturdiness of the stitching to prevent wind damage during hanging. The flag tube is a symbol of the appearance of the flag. Without it, it cannot be called a flag, so its width must be adapted to the size of the flag. Due to technical limitations and plate-making costs, the price is relatively high for small batch production. In mass production, one plate can be reused. The price of mass production has a great advantage over heat transfer flags, and the color effect on the back is the same as the front color.
The feature of heat transfer printing ( dye sublimation printing)
The heat transfer printing flags are a new technology that has emerged in order to adapt to market development and consumer needs. The ink is sprayed on the transfer paper, and then the patterned coating is printed on the transfer paper to control a certain temperature, pressure and Over time, the dye is transferred from the printed paper to the flag fabric, and enters the interior of the fabric through diffusion, thereby achieving the purpose of coloring. Then cut the seam to make the finished flag. The printing form is plateless printing, which is easy to operate. It is not limited by the types of designs and colors. The application of digital printing technology to print color patterns and images does not require plate making, which saves the plate making process and costs. It is suitable for the production of personalized, small-batch, high-quality products, but the back color effect and front color effect are certain The color difference, but with the development of new technology, the use of professional-grade machines and inks can achieve double-sided transparent effects. After the heat transfer pattern is transferred, the original texture of the material is not changed, so the hand feel and look are good, the pattern is rich in layers, the color is bright, the dry change is versatile, and the reproducibility is good, which can meet the requirements of the designer. The earliest countries of thermal transfer technology include the United States, South Korea, Italy, Switzerland, China and other countries.
In terms of the scale of market formation in recent years, China has become the world's largest thermal transfer processing market. Many international thermal transfer color printing ink brands have begun to focus on the huge Chinese market.
Existence is reasonable. The two markets of heat transfer flags and watermark flags coexist and complement each other, and are independent of each other, forming different market prices and consumer groups.
