Printing process in comparison

Sublimation printing (SUB)

Sublimation printing is one of the so-called transfer printing processes. The dyes in the pre-printed transfers become gaseous under the influence of heat and pressure and thus migrate into the open pores of the textile fiber. This process is called sublimation. As the temperature and pressure decrease, the pores close and the dye is firmly anchored in the fiber. This results in extremely high durability. The prints can be folded and stored and transported cost-effectively.

UV printing

UV printing is considered particularly environmentally friendly because it contains no volatile organic substances. The ink is cured with ultraviolet (UV) light immediately after being applied to the textile surface. Unlike sublimation printing, the ink does not penetrate the fabric, but instead creates a satin finish on the material. This process enables razor-sharp and brilliant textile prints. UV curing ensures high print stability and protects against yellowing, making it suitable for outdoor use. The prints can only be stored and transported rolled up.

Cut-in

The bleed is the area outside the blank that will be sewn with the rubber lip after printing. To avoid white flashes, it should be 1% per side length all the way around. For frame sizes under 2000 mm, a 20 mm bleed is required. Regardless of whether it's a photo or a graphic design, the background of the print file should fill the entire bleed area.

For a frame size of 1000 x 3000 mm, the print data size is 1040 x 3060 mm. The fold, cut, or registration marks commonly found in layout programs must not be activated within the data format.

Protection area

The protective zone lies within the cut and describes the area within which text, important parts of a photo, logos or other design elements should be placed. The area outside this zone is a maximum of 20 mm. To ensure that all details remain visible in the final format, all important elements of the design should be within the protective zone. The printed textiles have a high stretch content, so there is a risk, especially with large motifs, that edge-facing elements disappear with the rubber lip in the frame. Contours and borders of entire motifs are not recommended. Due to the flexibility of the textile, they may turn out slightly uneven or off-center.

CMYK

A process color is created by printing specific colors at different screen angles. In the classic four-color printing we use, these are cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Therefore, the submitted print data should be in pure CMYK. Color deviations may occur when using Lab or RGB color spaces.

dpi

The dpi number indicates the dot density in image reproduction and is therefore one of the quality aspects of printing. The abbreviation stands for dots per inch. The finer the dot density, the more clearly these printed dots blend to the human eye and the better the print result is perceived. Since we are printing on a textured surface (fabric), we require a lower resolution (dot density) of 72 dpi than, for example, paper printing (300 dpi).
