How does ChromaBlast compare to screen printing and old-style transfer paper?
Screen printing uses plastisol ink. It doesn’t react with the fibers, like ChromaBlast, but sticks on the surface of the garment. Screenprinting with plastisol ink creates a heavy, non-breathable image which can crack and peel. Old style transfer papers also use a thermoplastic which has the same problem. The chemistry behind the ChromaBlast digital imaging system consists of active ingredients that react and cross link to the garment fibers when heat is applied. Because the image and garment fibers bond, ChromaBlast has a softer, more natural feel and superior wash fastness.
