Direct printing refers to any printing method where the ink or pigment is applied directly onto the final substrate (material), without the need for intermediate transfer materials like paper or film. Common Direct Printing Methods: DTG (Direct-to-Garment) Printing Prints ink directly onto fabric (usually cotton). Great for custom t-shirts and detailed designs. UV Flatbed Printing Prints directly on rigid materials like acrylic, wood, glass, metal, etc. Uses UV light to instantly cure the ink. DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printing Not a direct printing method to the final product — it first prints on film, then transfers to fabric. So, not considered a "direct" method to garment. Sublimation on Polyester-Coated Objects If using a special printer that prints directly onto coated objects (like mugs or panels), it can be considered semi-direct. However, most sublimation involves transfer paper, so not truly direct.
The printing process most extensively used in the commercial printing segment of the graphic communications industry is offset printing. This method involves transferring ink from a plate to a rubber blanket and then onto the printing surface, allowing for high-quality, consistent results on various materials. Offset printing is favored for its efficiency in producing large volumes, cost-effectiveness, and ability to reproduce fine detail and vibrant colors. It is commonly used for printing books, magazines, brochures, and other materials.
