Our Printing Processes
At Lyoness Press, we utilise a couple of printing processes to ensure your designs come to life with precision and vibrancy.
Our primary method is DTG printing, which can recreate complex imagery and detailed graphics beautifully onto a range of textiles. We also offer screen printing, known for its durability and ability to produce vibrant colours and perfect for printing white ink.
Direct to Garment (DTG) Printing
Direct to garment (DTG) printing is a method of printing onto textiles designed specifically for cotton garments such as t-shirts and tote bags. This technique uses specialised inkjet technology to apply designs directly onto the fabric, allowing for complex imagery and detailed graphics.
One of the significant advantages of DTG printing is its ability to produce high-quality prints with vibrant colours and fine details. It is particularly effective for intricate designs, photos, and artwork, making it an ideal choice for artists and organisations looking to showcase their artwork on garments.
DTG printing is the most environmentally friendly printing method available. It uses water-based inks, which have a lower environmental impact, and the process generates almost no waste, aligning with our sustainable practices at Lyoness Press.
Silk Screen Printing
Screen printing is a versatile and widely used printing technique that enables the creation of high-quality designs on various kinds of garments. The process involves transferring ink through a fine mesh screen onto the fabric, allowing for precise detail and vibrancy in the printed image.
One of the key advantages of screen printing is its ability to produce long-lasting designs that withstand multiple washes. The thick ink layer used in this method results in a durable finish, making it ideal for promotional merchandise and custom apparel. Furthermore, screen printing can accommodate a wide array of colours, making it suitable for intricate designs or bold graphics.
Sustainability is also a crucial factor in the screen printing process: by utilising water-based inks and eco-friendly practices, we minimise our environmental impact whilst still delivering impressive printed garments.
