How does chromablast compare to screen printing and transfer paper?
Plastisol is the key component of screen printing. Plastisol does not react with the fibers, but sticks on the surface of the garment, creating a heavy, non-breathable image which can crack and peel. Traditional transfer paper utilizes a thermoplastic which has a result similar to screen printing. 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 hand and superior wash fastness.
