Ever wonder what the differences are between Our Process 

(Digital Printing Heat Transfer Process) VS Silk Screen Printing

Silkscreen or Screen Printing Method

In the 19th century, a patent was granted in England for a printing process using wooden frame stretched with silk on which a stencil was painted with screen filter. Colour ink could not pass through the masked stencil but was squeezed through the silk and onto the surface below thus making a print.

This printing style became known as Silkscreen printing or sometimes Screen Printing.

Valued for its speed and flexibility in term of the variety of surface on which it could be printed, Screen Printing technique was increasingly popular in the commercial sector. Today, automatic presses are available and able to produce thousands of prints at any one time. This speed factor contributes to mass production of T-Shirts for mega events like school camp, charity run and even massive national celebration just to name a few.

Screen Printing is economical for huge quantity print jobs. However, there are flaws and strong suit to it. From film to stencil and then to the press machine, the set-up time can be a little tedious. But once the printing system is up and running, it can print on any coloured T-Shirt with great speed and accuracy. Image quality is not as vibrant and vivid. Cracks and color fading are expected after just a few washes especially if not done correctly.  It also emits / produces  chemical waste with inks and cleaners, emitting VOC (volatile organic compounds) into the environment.

As technology advances, new types of T-Shirt printing process begin to displace Screen Printing as a commercial printing method. New process such as Heat Transfer printing, Ink jet or Laser printing and Direct to Garment printing are adopted.

Kamatee's ways: Heat Transfer Printing Method

The computer has definitely changed our lives and the way we do things. Faster and more sophisticated, time needed for T-Shirt Printing is reduced tremendously.

All that is required: a computer, an output machine and a heat press machine. It only takes about 15 minutes to produce a neat T-Shirt. A special heat transfer media is fed into the out put machine, usually a copier or laser printer where the image is printed. Then high heat pressure is applied onto the media to force transfer the image from the surface of the media to the surface of the T-Shirt.

In today's context, Heat Transfer Printing produces brilliant full colour images in a hassle free way. This is a more expensive process BUT the good thing is  IT DOES NOT LIMIT CUSTOMERS TO A SINGLE DESIGN IN LARGE QUANTITY AND THE QUALITY OF THE IMAGES ARE SECOND TO NONE. You can easily produce 100 different designs and print it with ease! Hence, this method is commonly used for printing customized or personalized T-Shirt for single or bulk orders.

Since we only use the best quality products out there, the "hand feel" of the print can rival that of silk screen. 

In fact the transfer paper that we have been using has excellent hand for cotton and polyblend. The colours are vivid and the coating holds ink for maximum colour saturation. The product has great washability the hand actually improves with washing. 100 or more washes with good colour retention and no bursts or cracks are expected.

It also does not produce any chemical waste that can harm our environment.  The only by product of transfer printing is the used transfer paper which can beRECYCLED.

Digital Cut Out Printing Method

Designs are digitally die-cut and transferred to the T-Shirt with the aid of heat press machine. High heat and pressure bond the specially treated cut out material onto the T-Shirt. Made of vinyl, foil or flock vivet, these materials usually come in roll form and running 10 to 30m in length. They are fully opaque and have many different colours and characteristics such as glitters, illum, glow in the dark and even reflective finish.

These materials are easily hot pressed onto any coloured T-Shirt and give an embossed or floating effect. A good example of Digital Cut Out Printing is the number at the back of a sport jersey.

Direct To Garment Printing Method

This particular T-Shirt printing works similar to an ink jet desktop printer. The unique textile ink is deposited directly onto the T-Shirt. Without any set up of screen filters, printing of image onto heat transfer media or digitally cut out material, Direct To Garment Printing is an avant garde way to print T-Shirts.

The advantages of this method is ease of set up and reduce limitations. It allows for unlimited colours to be printed and images can be printed with clarity and vividness. Like the Heat Transfer Printing method, DTG has no minimum. The only difference between the two is since ink is applied directly to the T-Shirt, hence allowing for a flexible feel and with no stiffness. This further enhances the softness and stretch free property.

IT is so versatile that it can print on any textile and coloured T-Shirt. By far, Direct To Garment Printing is                 much superior in terms of set up time, cost-effective, presentation and turn around  time.
