Application Technique |
Individual colors are imposed onto a screen of silk. Ink is then forced through the mesh directly onto the fabric and is bonded using high temperatures. |
Design is printed using special inks that have the ability to bond with certain fabrics when heat is applied. Unlike iron-on transfers, digital printing leaves a vibrant image with excellent durability and wash fastness. |
Design is sewn directly into the fabric using decorative needlework. |
