If you are considering customizing apparel or promotional items, two popular methods come to mind: screen printing and heat transfer. Both techniques offer unique advantages and considerations, making it essential to understand their differences before deciding. At Magic Vinyl, we will help you compare the two types to make determining what you will opt for for your project easier.
Screen printing is a traditional method for applying designs to various surfaces. It involves creating a stencil (or screen) of the desired format and transferring ink onto the material.
The process involves multiple steps, including creating screens, setting up the printing equipment, and drying the prints, resulting in longer production times.
Heat transfer, also known as digital transfer or iron-on transfer, is a method that involves printing the design onto a transfer paper and then applying heat to transfer it onto the material.
Consider your specific needs and consult with our printing professionals to ensure you make the right choice for your custom prints.
