Umbrella Printing Methods

Posted by Jen Zurowski on

PRINT METHODS

 

There are three ways for us to print on an umbrella: screen printing, heat transfer and digital sublimation.

SCREEN PRINTING
In this method, a mesh screen is made with a stencil of your logo burned into it. Ink is squeezed through the screen and onto the umbrella panel. Screen printing is for solid colours only (no gradients), up to 4 colours maximum. This is the most economical print method and is the most common.


HEAT TRANSFER PRINTING
In this method, your logo is digitally printed onto a vinyl substrate, cut out, and heat pressed onto the panel. This method is for multi-colour logos or logos with gradients.


 


DIGITAL SUBLIMATION PRINTING
In this method, the entire panels are printed in full colour. The dye particles in the inks covert into gas and bond to the fibers of the fabric. This is the most versatile print method since anything can be accomplished, but it is also the most expensive and has a higher minimum order quantity.
