Heat press printing is commonly used in the creation of t shirts, logo garments and advertising banners. It is reasonably economical and can produce a high volume of printed items during a single session. Heat transfer printing of the kind referred to above, though, creates a much larger potential volume of waste than sublimation printing using a digital printer, as it requires the transfer themselves to be created, which become refused once a job is complete. The sublimation printer has no such run-off and so is commonly seen as more environmentally friendly.
