The production process of heat transfer film at Jiedong Yujia Printing Factory in Jieyang City can be divided into screen printing heat transfer film, gravure printing film, and high-definition digital printing film. Screen printing heat transfer film is relatively rare and the process is relatively backward. Gravure printing heat transfer films are commonly used. High definition digital heat transfer film is relatively flexible and can be produced in any quantity. But the cost is relatively expensive.
Comparison between intaglio printing thermal transfer film and high-definition digital printing thermal transfer film:
1. Different processes. The gravure printing process is complex, while the high-definition digital printing process is simple. The biggest difference is that gravure printing requires a mold. High definition digital printing does not require a mold. Digital printing can be simply understood as a printer that directly outputs patterns.
2. Order flexibility varies. Gravure printing is suitable for products with large orders, while digital high-definition printing is suitable for large and small orders.
3. Prices vary. Gravure printing equipment is relatively cheap, and the price of flower film is relatively much cheaper. High definition digital printing has a higher equipment cost, so the price of printed patterns is higher.
4. The production cycle is different. The production cycle of gravure printing is long. Generally, plate making takes 3 days, pattern production takes 4 days, and overall, it takes 7 days. In special periods, it may take a total of 10 days. High definition digital printing, drawing and shipping only takes 3 days.
5. Different textures. The gravure printing ink layer is relatively thin, about 25 um. The thickness of the printing ink layer for high-definition digital film printing is about 100um. The difference is still significant. Touch the high-definition printed pattern with your hand, and you can feel the oil layer of the pattern, with a good texture. For printing with small fonts, it is better to choose high-definition printing.
6. The sanitary environment of the site is different. Gravure printing machines are large and occupy a large area. And the pollution is large. High definition film printing, small equipment, less pollution.
