Print, Heat Transfer & Embroidery
We work with a network of different suppliers offering a large selection of printing, heat transfer and embroidery techniques.
Digital Print
Digital Print is an inkjet-based method of printing directly onto the fabric.
The good thing about Digital Print is that it can print almost any design on most type of fabrics.
Digital Print can print artworks in high resolution, details and unlimited colours, which makes it cost-effective for printing.
We use Digital Printing as the default printing method for artworks that have more than 4 colours.
Dye Sublimation
Dye Sublimation is a process where dyes pigment are printed onto a transfer medium and then applied to the fabric or garment using heat and pressure.
This process allows the inks to fully penetrate the fabric to create a permanent and full colour image that has no hand feel.
Dye Sublimation print can produce artworks in full colour, high quality photographic print results and are resistant to scratching or cracking.
We use Dye Sublimation printing as the default printing method for printing on polyester fabrics.
Screen Printing
Screen Print, as the name implies, use screens as stencils for applying layers of inks onto the print surface.
It is the most cost-effective method for having artwork printed on garments in bulk with high quality results.
Screen Prints are very durable and last for a long time even after multiple washes.
Each screen can only be used for 1 colour at a time and for artworks with more than 4 colours, screen-printing will not be cost efficient due to the high set-up costs of having screens made.
At Bryden, we offer several types of screen printing; Water-Based Ink & Plastisol-Based Ink Screen Print. Scroll further for more info.
Water-Based Ink Screen Print
Water-Based Inks Screen Printing is our default screen printing method for printing on light coloured fabrics.
These inks have pigment embedded in a water-based solvent, making it an eco-friendly printing method.
Water-Based Ink Screen Prints offer an ultra soft hand feel, as the inks are actually absorbed into the fabrics.
Plastisol-Based Ink Screen Print
Plastisol-Based Inks Screen Printing is our default screen printing method for printing on dark coloured fabrics.
Plastisol-Based Inks are a PVC based type of ink that is cured by high temperature for it to set.
They offer long lasting and the best colour results and can be easily matched with Pantone or PMS colours.
Plastisol inks will leave a thin film over the fabric, which can be felt by hand and have a thicker feel as compared to water-based ink screen print.
Metallic Ink Screen Print
Metallic Inks are used to provide a metallic appearance on the garment.
It is similar to metallic foil print but without the shiny appearance.
Metallic Foil Screen Print
Metallic Foil Screen Printing is similar to metallic inks but with a shiny appearance.
It can only be printed on natural fabrics and have a limitation of 1 colour per artwork.
Foil print will fade over time with multiple washes as they are applied using adhesives and foil.
All foil printed designs should be washed inside out to the prolong the longevity of the print.
Heat Transfer Print
As heat transfer uses plastisol inks, there will be a thin layer than can be felt by hand.
Embroidery - Direct On Garment
Embroidery - Patch
