Transfer printing is the transferring of the desired visual and paint via heat and pressure of the paint applied on special absorbent paper onto other materials. There are three different transfer printing techniques and there are different printing methods in itself. It is divided into three main titles as Sublimation Transfer Printing, Serigraph Transfer Printing and Offset Transfer Printing.
PRODUCTION AND TECHNICAL INFO
DIGITAL PRINT
With the development of technology, manufacturers and brands have always aimed to offer the latest technological developments to their consumers. Considering all the technological developments in the world, the part that is reflected in the printing machines has been beneficial for our production. With this developing technology, prints with higher quality and even brighter and more vivid color tones are made compared to previous years. Operations that cause extra costs such as film and mold when printing before, have been eliminated thanks to the digital printing technique. Logos and emblems are applied to the flag with digital printing technique on Alpaca, Raschel, Tricot Polyester, Polyester Satin, Crystal Satin, Matte Satin, Atlas Satin fabrics, which are specially woven fabrics for flag manufacturing. The edges can be heat cut and either a single layer or a double layer stitched, depending on the place where it will be used. Flags printed with digital printing techniques are resistant to washing and are guaranteed against flowing of the wind. Digital printing technique is the process of preparing the print by sending the design prepared in the computer environment directly to the machine. Printing methods that take a long time are prepared in a short time by a spraying method thanks to digital printing.

TRANSFER PRINTING
• Sublimation Transfer Printing
It is the technique of transferring the pattern to products such as porcelain, textiles, polyester and polyester coated materials with heat and pressure, which is applied with offset and digital printing on special absorbent paper. The special ink evaporates with heat and pressure and is processed on the surface of the product to be printed. The product to be processed is usually white. The resulting colors are clearer and more vivid than digital printing. Since the colors are clearer, the areas of use are usually table flags, ties, scarves, scarves and t-shirts.
• Serigraph Transfer Printing
It is the most widely used printing technique today. The image prepared on the computer is first transferred to a metal mold and this mold is attached to the printing machine. The important thing here is that water and oil do not mix together. In the construction phase, the image in the metal mold is printed on paper with the help of a roller called rubber. What makes the Offset Printing Technique popular is that it eliminates high intermediate processes such as films that are used compared to other printing methods and assembly in terms of time and cost.

FEATURES THAT DISTINGUISH OUR DIGITAL TRANSFER PAPERS FROM OTHERS:
- Fast drying
- Transferring ink at high rates
- Having affordable and affordable prices compared to the rest of the market
- It is easy to use and does not break easily
- even more detailed patterns can be printed
- Provides the identification of fabric and paper with each other during sublimation
- It allows sublimation on hard materials.
EMPRIMINATION PRINTING
It is an important printing technique in the printing of cotton products. They are generally insoluble in water and organic solvents. They are attached to the fiber with resin-based adhesives and then subjected to a high temperature condensation process. It is a printing technique preferred especially in multi-part and promotional works. The reason for this is that it is fast and the quality is appropriate. The chemicals used in the this printing technique are eco-solvent and are harmless to the environment and human health. It is a printing technique that is resistant to washing and external weather conditions.
THE PROS OF EMRPIMINATION PRINTING.
- The fact that there is no need for washing after printing allows printing with minimum cost.
- The absence of color change before and after printing makes it possible to see the final colors at the time of printing.This is very important for detecting possible errors before the printing process.
- In printing with pigments, the risk of color difference is very low.
- The process is essentially simple and safe.
- Pigments cover the absorption errors on the fabric.
- Prints show sharp contours and the color possibilities are endless.
- It is possible to print very sensitive materials since they do not require any washing.
- Printing costs are low.
