For Multi-color and Complex Patterns, Can We Only Use Thermal Transfer or Water Decal Printing on the Stainless Steel Water Cup?

The answer is no

Heat transfer printing and water decal printing can indeed reflect the effect of the original pattern very well, achieve the effect of rich layers and saturated colors, but with the advancement of industry technology, there have been new processes that can be replaced, and at the same time, the cost is also more advantageous.

These processes are water transfer printing, air transfer printing and multi-color silk screen printing.

1.Water Transfer Printing

Although the process of water transfer printing is not comparable to thermal transfer in terms of production efficiency, it is much higher than that of water transfer printing. At the same time, the color saturation and the layering of the pattern are highly reflected.

2.Air transfer Printing

Air transfer printing also has a good performance in color reproduction. Although it is weaker than thermal transfer, water decal and water transfer, its advantages are high production efficiency and low cost.

3.Multi-color Silk screen Printing

Multi-color silk screen printing is a product that has appeared in recent years. Compared with five years ago, the printing accuracy has improved. The printed drawing paper can be highly delicate, and the reduction of portrait printing can reach 99%. The characteristic is high production efficiency and low cost. The disadvantage is that the cost of mechanical equipment is relatively high, and the shape and size of printed products are limited.
