What is the difference between heat press and screen printing?


During the screen-printing process, the ink actually becomes part of the fabric as opposed to a heat-pressed ink that just sits on top of the fabric. That's why heat-transfers don't hold up as well to machine washing and drying – they may crack and fade over time whereas screen prints tend to hold fast and true.


Is sublimation better than vinyl?

 

Sublimation printing has a bit higher start-up cost when compared to heat transfer vinyl, but maybe a better option based on final results. To get started with sublimation printing you will need a sublimation printer, sublimation paper, heat press machine and blank apparel where our design will be transferred.
