Speciální efekty díky sítotisku
Sítotisk, na rozdíl od jiných tiskových technik, umožňuje aplikovat na textil celou řadu speciálních efektů. Vhodně vybraný efekt, například parciální lak, tisk metalickou barvou, nebo lak s dosvitovým efektem, dokáže dodat vaší zakázce známku originality a výjimečnosti. Uvádíme příklady nejčastěji používaných efektových tisků.
Puff
The puff effect (the additive base that rises up)–a plastic effect with slightly rounded edges, frequently used in printing on textile, T-shirts and sweatshirts. The template for this type of printing has to be adjusted to this technology. For instance, it is not possible to reproduce thin lines, or small font.
Imitation of materials
Suede, leather, or neoprene–these can be imitated by means of printing. The printing can, for instance, imitate denim fabric. Also, the surface of the printing can be cracked. The print imitates the material both visually and tactile.
3D printing
3D printing on textiles–layered printing, in contrast to the puff effect it has sharp edges. This printing is very impressive. It also has its practical application; 3D printing is used for example for anti-slip elements at the bottom of children’s socks.
Metallic inks, pearl effects
Gold, silver and other metallic inks contain various amounts of very fine metallic particles. By adding pigments to inks, we can achieve different variants and metallic shades. Glitters (pearl effects) create an interesting play on colors from various perspectives.
Glitters
Glitters are very coarse metallic pigments, which deliver the printing of specific striking glossy effects. Template for printing must be adapted to these technologies. For example, light lines or small text can not be reproduced.
Pearl effects
Pearl effects create an interesting play on colors from various perspectives.
Phosphorescent paint
Special paint with afterglow effect. It stores light from light sources and is then highly visible for a long time,
even in the dark. The paint is printed as a translucent layer that can be underprinted in any colour.
Fluorescent colors
Reflective inks are used for printing on safety clothing and children’s clothing. Fluorescent inks.
Reflective colours
Reflective colours are clearly visible when light shines on them. They are used, for example, for printing on
safety clothing or children’s clothing, and as an accentuating
Varnishes
Varnish is used for overprint or emphasis of the chosen part or color. Colorless varnish–“the water effect”, the
motif appears to be wet
Transparent
Transparent base is used, for example to highlighting only certain sections of the print, on which is the transparent
base printed. Can be shiny or matte. Can be sharp or very rounded edge (the effect of a drop of water).
