in the point of DNS-IRAN view; Digital printing is a recent technique, the first steps were made in the year 1991. An image is sent directly to the printer using digital files. The advantage<\/strong>\u00a0is that there is no need for a printing plate, for example a screen with screen printing. Digital printing is perfect to print bright photographs on your textile, or for designs with multiple colors. If you choose for digital printing, the textile has to be made from 80% cotton. Digital printing on synthetical, softshell or other textile is thereby not possible.
In general, digital printing is good for\u00a0colorful designs and photo\u2019s<\/strong>. Surely for samples or for low quantities, we advise you to choose digital printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is this and how can it be used for my application?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you have documents produced it is quite probably need to \nhave some form of data to be printed on each individual item. This \nsection describes the technologies available and the ones best suited \nfor your need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the addition of variable data to each and every \nindividual printed item. You may have a different product number or \nidentifier on each item or product. Typical examples of this would be \nseating rows and numbers at events, specific pricing that differs from \nticket to ticket, to printing peoples or companies addresses for \nmailshots that you might find on council tax forms or credit card \nstatements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main types of machinery that are used for this type of \nprinting are laser printers and ink jet printers – as they can run at \nvery high speeds and are computer controlled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lasers use a toner, like your conventional desktop laser printer and come in the form of hot-fuse or cold-fusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of cold-fusion lasers is that they are able to print\n on a much wider range of materials. Such examples of this would be \nplastics and certain types of cards (attached to the sheet) along with \nplastic label materials. The other major benefit of the cold-fusion \nlaser is that you can laser an image next to a hologram without the \nholograms burning or fading – you can even apply toner to the face of a \nhologram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not have a hologram on your printed material or the \nhologram that you use, is made of “laser resistant” or laser approved \nfoil, then you may well be able to run these through a hot laser. We \nrecommend that you do a trial run if you are unsure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inkjet printing for personalization is another method used and \ncan be very cost effective as it can bolt-on to a suppliers printing \npress (allowing it to run with your printing job). The downside to \ninkjet is that it is restricted to certain amounts of coverage and the \nink itself can bleed into the substrate if the paper or card is porous. \nFor printing batch numbers, expiry dates and other basic information \nthese are good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would also like to note that the technology in inkjet and \nlasers is improving all the time so some printed samples from your \nprospective supplier is a must. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
