The new era technological developments in the field of printing include screen printing and sublimation printing.

What is screen printing?

Screen printing is actually a printing technique where a type of mesh is used in order to transfer ink onto a substrate but some areas which do not constitute the design parts, are made impermeable to the ink by a blocking with stencil. The mesh is filled with ink by using a blade or a squeegee and this step is followed by a reverse stroke. The ink then touches the substrate for a brief moment. This method is also known as stencil printing. One color is printed at a time. The printing could be accomplished on a variety of fabric materials.

Sublimation print

Apart from screen printing Dubai UAE, there exists yet another printing technique that is becoming very popular nowadays which is known as sublimation print. Sublimation print in Dubai is also equally popular. In this printing technique, the print is made using a computer printer which transfers the ink of the printer that is in the solid form on the fabric directly. The name has its origin in the view that considers that the ink directly transfers from the solid to the gaseous state without being converted into the intermediate liquid state.

This special technique in printing could also be made using any kind of fabric matter. In fact, nowadays, even fabric papers are being sold which could be used for the printing purposes.
