1.Silk Screen Printing
1.Principle: The design is transferred onto the wooden surface through a mesh screen and ink. The ink is pushed through the screen in specific areas to form the pattern.
Application: Suitable for simple designs with fewer colors, ideal for mass production.
Advantages: Low cost, high efficiency, and vibrant, durable prints.
Disadvantages: Not suitable for complex multi-color designs, limited precision.
2.Heat Transfer Printing
Principle: The design printed on transfer paper is transferred to the wood surface through heat and pressure. The pattern is mirrored on the paper and transferred when heated.
Application: Suitable for multi-color or complex designs, perfect for personalized products.
Advantages: Fine details, gradient effects, and well-suited for small batch customization.
Disadvantages: Slower production speed, higher cost, requires a smooth surface.
3.Laser Engraving
Principle: Uses laser beams to precisely carve the design into the wood surface. The laser removes a layer of the wood to form a detailed engraving.
Application: Ideal for intricate, detailed logos or designs, typically used for high-end custom products.
Advantages: High precision, clear details, durable, won't fade; unique tactile feel.
Disadvantages: High equipment investment, best for small batch production.
4.UV Printing
Principle: Uses ultraviolet light to cure ink directly onto the wood, forming a durable layer.
Application: Suitable for smooth or slightly irregular wood surfaces, often used for complex patterns.
Advantages: Vibrant, wear-resistant prints that won't fade; suitable for various materials and surface shapes.
Disadvantages: High equipment requirements, large investment, slightly longer production time.
5.Stickers or Labels
Principle: Printed stickers or labels are applied directly to the wooden surface.
Application: Suitable for short-term use, promotional products, or small batch customization, often used for simple logos or designs on children's toys and furniture.
Advantages: Quick and easy to produce, low cost, and flexible design changes.
Disadvantages: Limited durability, may peel off or get scratched; not ideal for long-term use or high-wear environments.
