Whois & Analysis for trendytransfers.com

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.

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.

Screen printing is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil.

A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact.

This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed.

A decal (or) or transfer is a plastic, cloth, paper or ceramic substrate that has printed on it a pattern or image that can be moved to another surface upon , usually with the aid of heat or water.
