What is the difference between silk screen printing and thermal transfer printing?

Let's look at two printing processes: \ x0d \ x0d \ 1) screen printing: design, color separation, plate making, color fixation, screen printing warehousing and completion. \x0d\\x0d\2) Thermal transfer: design, printing transfer paper, transfer printing, computer saving and completion. \x0d\\x0d\ From the above, it can be seen intuitively that screen printing is plate-making printing, while thermal transfer is characterized by not plate-making, which saves plate-making process and cost and is suitable for making printed personalized products. Printing is the most essential difference between screen printing and digital printing! \x0d\\x0d\ Because of the cost of plate making, some of them are as high as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, it is difficult to produce small quantities of personalized products due to technical limitations and plate making costs. So it is easy to understand that traditional screen printing is aimed at the mass market; Strictly speaking, the market positioning of digital thermal transfer printing is personalized product market. This is the most essential difference between the two in market positioning! \x0d\\x0d\ From the point of printing effect, screen printing can't print high-precision printing patterns such as gradient color and moire due to the limitation of "color registration", while thermal transfer is inkjet printing, so it is not limited by color! As far as printing effect is concerned, whether it can print a variety of colors is the most essential difference between screen printing and thermal transfer printing! \ x0d \ x0d \ thermal transfer products and technologies are the development and extension of traditional thermal transfer. The two markets are complementary and independent, forming different market prices and consumer groups.
