Whois & Analysis for coastalbusiness.com

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 other products.

A dye-sublimation printer is a computer printer which uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as a plastic, card, paper, or fabric.

The sublimation name was first applied because the dye was considered to make the transition between the solid and gas states without going through a liquid stage.

This understanding of the process was later shown to be incorrect.

There is some liquifying of the dye.

Since then, the process is sometimes known as dye-diffusion, though this has not eliminated the original name.

These are done at lower temperatures but higher pressures, particularly in all-over print processes.

Transfer paper is used in textiles and arts & crafts projects.

Often, an ink-jet or other printer is used to print an image on the paper.

Then a heat press can transfer the image onto clothing, canvas, or other surface.

Transfer paper is used in creating iron-ons.

In chemistry, vinyl or ethenyl is the functional group −CH=CH2, namely the ethylene (IUPAC ethene) molecule (H2C=CH2) minus one hydrogen atom.

The name is also used for any compound containing that group, namely R−CH=CH2 where R is any other group of atoms.

Printing is a process for reproducing text and images using a master form or template.

The earliest examples include Cylinder seals and other objects such as the Cyrus Cylinder and the Cylinders of Nabonidus.

The earliest known form of woodblock printing came from China dating to before 220 A.D.

Later developments in printing include the movable type, first developed by Bi Sheng in China around 1040 AD.

Johannes Gutenberg introduced mechanical movable type printing to Europe in the 15th century.

His printing press played a key role in the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, the Age of Enlightenment, and the scientific revolution and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses.
