Screen
Printing
Flags and banners are printed using the disperse dye system. The
process allows for the dye to penetrate through the yarn for longer
lasting colour fastness. These flags and banners are machine washable
and can be dry cleaned. Through the use of computerised colour matching
and the only automatic flag printing equipment in Africa,
exceptional quality is achieved. The equipment allows for close
registration reducing overlaps
and making half-tones and full colour print available on the flags
and banners.
Digital
Print
National Flag has installed a digital printer capable of printing
with disperse dyes directly onto untreated material.
This process prints direct from disk, eliminating the need for positives
and screens. The machine can reproduce more than 1 million colours
in solids, tones or CMYK. Ideal for short runs and multi-colour
jobs. Quick turnaround time guaranteed.
