Ribbon printing method

What are the methods of ribbon printing?

1. Screen Printing

Screen printing is a process in which silk fabrics, synthetic fabrics or metal wire mesh are stretched onto the screen frame, and the screen printing plate is made by hand-engraving paint film or photochemical plate-making. Modern screen printing technology uses photosensitive materials to make screen printing plates by photogrammetry (making the screen holes in the graphic and text parts of screen printing plates as through holes, but not the screen holes in the graphic and text parts are blocked). When printing, the ink is transferred to the substrate through the mesh of the graphic part by the extrusion of the scraper, forming the same picture and text as the original. Screen printing equipment is simple, easy to operate, easy to print and plate making, low cost and strong adaptability.

Specifically divided into: ordinary ink printing, rotary printing, foam printing, thermosetting printing, hard plastic printing and so on. Usually, gold stamping and silver stamping are printed with screen printing. The disadvantage is that the color is limited and the length of the drawing needs to be relatively short. Now factories for convenience, usually printing will leave the edge, ribbon edge is not printed, so it is more suitable for printing.

2. Heat Transfer Printing

Transfer printing process is also widely used in gift industry, especially in hanging rope production. This process has low cost and good effect. When printing dot pattern, it has absolute price advantage, and the heat transfer hanging rope is absolutely environmentally friendly, so it is also widely loved by customers and friends.

In the production of heat transfer hanging rope, the embryo belt is generally white, and the whole rope includes the background color and the text pattern are sublimated. Therefore, it provides great convenience for users to design the overall effect of hanging rope. In theory, hanging rope can be made according to any color pattern of customers. In traditional hanging rope silk printing process, customers'patterns and LOGOs are usually printed on the colored ribbons. Most gift manufacturers can only print solid color boards due to cost constraints, which makes it difficult to operate when the number of colors is large, and the finished products are high. And it is easy to offset. Heat transfer does not occur because it is an integral pattern transfer.

There are rich patterns and unlimited colors. Less color, higher price than screen printing, more suitable for colorful and difficult to distinguish between the draft. The most important feature is that it has the same softness as the belt and has a high color fastness.

3. Computer Jacquard

As an important category of sewing equipment industry in our country, embroidery machine industry has developed in the past two years. Computer jacquard machine is the most advanced embroidery machine in the contemporary era. It is a kind of mechanical and electrical crystal reflecting various high and new technologies. It can realize multi-level, multi-function and function that manual embroidery can not achieve.

Computer jacquard is a pattern of different colors woven on the ribbon by yarns of different colors, which is synchronized with the ribbon. Make high-end fashion hanging rope. However, the limitation of computer jacquard is that it is not suitable to make too many complex patterns with too many colors.

The operation is difficult, because it is direct weaving, the cost is relatively high, and the loss is relatively large, the starting order is relatively high. It can be divided into single-sided jacquard and double-sided jacquard. This should be a kind of weaving process, not a kind of printing.
