The process is different
The biggest difference between the two applications is that the process is different. The application of offset heat transfer is that the ink is printed on On top of the heat transfer film, then sprinkle a layer of hot melt powder on the surface of the heat transfer film, and then press it to get the color; while the direct-injection paint ink application is printed directly on the fabric, and the fabric is printed during the printing process for better color and color fastness. Heat transfer often needs to be used in conjunction with pre- and post-treatment fluids. The process is more complicated than the heat transfer process, and it often requires more professional customers to complete the entire paint direct spray solution. The offset heat transfer process is relatively simple. It is easy for users to quickly master the process, and it is easy to copy and popularize. This is also an important reason why the paint heat transfer application program is so popular. 
The feel is different
Through the difference in the application process between the two described above, the hand feel is definitely different when applying direct spray paint. Perform better. This is because there is a layer of hot-melt powder between the ink and the fabric in offset heat transfer applications. The hot-melt powder acts as a binder and is transferred to the fabric together with the ink. The natural feel is slightly worse than that of direct-injection paint application. . The ink used in direct-injection paint is printed directly on the fabric, so there is generally no hand feel problem. In terms of hand feel, direct spray coating applications have obvious advantages. On the other hand, with the maturity of the application of offset heat transfer technology, the application performance of hot melt powder has improved, and the feel of the finished product produced by offset heat transfer application can also meet the needs of market customers.
Color expression and fastness are different
In In terms of color expression, the application of offset heat transfer is better. Similarly, in terms of fastness, the application of offset heat transfer is better. In order to improve the color and fastness of paint direct spray applications, it is often necessary to use pre- and post-treatment fluids to achieve better results, while offset heat transfer applications use hot melt powder to perfectly solve the color and fastness problems. Hot melt powder acts as an adhesive to perfectly combine the paint ink with the fabric. The color expression and fastness after color development are excellent. The very vexing issues of color and fastness in direct-injection paint applications use hot-melt powder as an intermediate medium to make the paint ink and fabric fit well, which perfectly solves the long-standing difficult problems in color and fastness in direct-injection paint applications. .
The cost of the solutions is different
Currently offset printing The application machines are still mainly Epson 4720 nozzles, while the direct paint spraying applications are mainly industrial nozzles. The cost of the machines used by the two applications is quite different. In terms of ink prices, offset heat transfer inks matched with the 4720 machine are also cheaper than inks used in paint direct injection applications. The most expensive offset heat transfer application solution is heat transfer film, and the price of heat transfer film is also constantly falling. Overall, the cost of offset heat transfer application solutions is lower than the cost of direct paint spray application. Offset heat transfer application solutions have low investment thresholds, simple processes, and are easy to get started and copy, so they have developed rapidly and become popular in a short period of time.
