Should clothes be offset or watermarked?

It mainly depends on the color of the fabric of the clothes. If the clothes themselves are dark in color, then watermarks cannot be used. Offset printing or other printing materials can be considered for printing. If the clothes themselves are light-colored, they can be watermarked or offset printed. The specific reasons are as follows:


Watermark, as the name suggests, the main component of the printing paste is water, water is a transparent object, and it does not have any coverage when printed on the fabric itself. When water is mixed with printing paste and adhesives, etc. and then printed on dark fabrics, the colored printing paste will be "eaten" by the dark fabric, and finally the printed pattern will not be visible. However, if this printing paste is used to print on light-colored or white fabrics, the situation will be greatly changed, and the printed pattern can be completely displayed on the fabric without being "eaten" by the light-colored fabric .


Offset printing, the main ingredient in it is "glue", which is a kind of resin, which is composed of titanium dioxide, adhesive and other materials. When the resin is fully mixed with printing paste, it is printed on dark fabrics, because it has good coverage. The rate can completely express any pattern you want. Of course, offset printing can also be printed on light-colored or white fabrics.


To sum up, offset printing can be printed on both dark and light-colored clothes, while watermarks can only be printed on light-colored clothes.

Regardless of offset printing or watermarking, the number of printing colors can theoretically be made into countless colors.
