Best Printing Methods for Custom Minky Fabric Bulk? 

Minky is difficult to print on because the fabric is rather soft and plush. Not all printing processes are really good, especially if you order in larger amounts. Here at Rarfusion, we help lead buyers on the best ways to print on minky fabric so the colors remain bright and cheerful while the material remains snuggle soft. Dye sublimation is a printing technique that is widely used. This technique uses heat to convert the ink into a gas, which then permeates the fibers of the fabric. It generates vivid colors that last long and don’t peel or fade easily. The soft feel is maintained due to dye sublimation on polyester Minky fabrics. But it’s pricey for small runs, so it works well for large orders. Screen printing is another technique, in which ink is pressed through screens to form the design. It's great for basic, bold designs with minimal colors. One drawback of screen printing is that it might render the fabric a bit stiff where the ink sits, so it’s better for Compound Fabric you don’t need to stay very soft. If you are printing a lot of colors or complex designs, screen printing may not be the most suitable option since each color requires an independent screen and this can increase time and expenses. Digital printing is more recent and the design is printed directly onto the fabric with special printers. Such a method makes fine patterns and many colors possible. And it maintains the fabric’s softness, because ink is light and thin. But unlike fabric printing itself, digital printing can deteriorate faster if the user fails to properly treat the fabric. Buyers seeking a quick turnaround and lots of colors often choose digital printing. Rarfusion also thinks about the way fabric will be used. For instance, if you wash the fabric often, dye sublimation is better because it won't fade. If the fabric is only for decoration, digital printing can be ok. Another factor is cost. For dye sublimation, bulk orders can lower the price per yard to an affordable rate, but may cost you more than you want to pay if your order falls below a certain level. Screen printing is less expensive for simple designs, although the cost adds up with multiple colors. Rarfusion helps buyers balance cost, design, the feel of a fabric and durability. Occasionally, the best approach is a mix of both — say, dye sublimation for the base design and screen printing for details. Such a solution requires expert experience, which Rarfusion offers. The biggest decision when it comes to printing, however, is which method to use and how it will affect the way the fabric looks, feels and lasts as well as just about how much your buyer wants to spend. With the correct choice, resulting Minky fabric will be soft and gorgeous and ready for any of your sewing projects.
