printing on fabric

There are many types of fabric that can be printed onto via a number of printing processes. These processes include inkjet printing, dye sublimation and screen printing.

When deciding on a fabric for printing, consideration to the absorbency of the fabric should be taken into account, as highly absorbent material will simply 'suck' the colour up and the print may appear dull and relatively colourless. Other materials like PVC however, that are solid in their surface finish take printing very well as the print simply sits on the surface.
