There are a number of printing techniques, however, at Dream Wild Designs, we use Ultra Prints, Vinyl Application, Dye Sublimation, and Embroidery
ULTRA PRINTS Almost identical to screen printing with inks applied onto specialty paper. The inks are transferred from the paper to the garment using pressurized heat. Benefits: Works with most garment colors, including dark colors like black and navy blue Provides excellent color saturation Specialty paper can be used for another printing order of the same design at a later time.
VINYL APPLICATION Uses vinyl cut into a pattern or design that is applied to a garment using pressurized heat. Benefits: Exceptionally durable, often used for sport uniforms Works with most garment colors, including dark colors like black and navy blue Provides excellent color saturation Can be used on cotton, cotton blends, and some synthetic materials
DYE SUBLIMATION Used on 100% polyester garments using heat-sensitive ink applied under high temperatures. We are limited with our sublimation printing, please enquire for further information. Benefits: Images can be high resolution and full color Water-based ink is Eco-friendly Extremely durable decoration Printing feels soft to the touch Great for synthetic fabrics
EMBROIDERY Uses decorative stitching to create a raised design with threads of different types and colors. Benefits: Works with most garment colors, including dark colors like black and navy blue Can be used on cotton, cotton blends, and synthetic materials Provides excellent color saturation A great choice for businesses or someone wanting a professional look
