Embroidery - The art of thread

One of the many services we offer here at Special-T's is custom embroidery. What is embroidery?
Wikipedia has a great definition of embroidery here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embroidery


The type of embroidery we offer here is Machine Embroidery: Much contemporary embroidery is stitched with a computerized embroidery machine using patterns "digitized" with embroidery software. In machine embroidery, different types of "fills" add texture and design to the finished work. Machine embroidery is used to add logos and monograms to business shirts or jackets, gifts, and team apparel as well as to decorate household linens, draperies, and decorator fabrics that mimic the elaborate hand embroidery of the past.

We have embroidered polo's, hats, jackets, saddle pads, blankets, towels...basically if it is flat (or flat-ish) and will allow a needle and thread to pass through it, we can embroider it.

So if you want to learn more about Special-T's embroidery services, please call us at 908-806-8337 or visit www.special-ts.com

What is Digital Printing

Around Special T's we call it Hi-Def or HD Printing......

Wikipedia provides the following definition:

Direct to garment printing, also known as DTG printing, digital garment printing and inkjet to garment printing, is a process of printing on textiles and garments using specialized or modified inkjet technology. The two key requirements of a DTG printer are a transport mechanism for the garment and specialty inks (inkjet textile inks) that are applied to the textile directly and are absorbed by the fibers.
Direct to garment printers boast the largest print area and lowest ink cost of any tabletop inkjet to garment printer.
The resolution and speed of the inkjet printers have been increased greatly over the last 10 years. This development has resulted in fast development of digital textile printing.
Sublimation inkjet printing is the major technology used in digital textile printing. As most fabrics are polyester or polyester-mixed, sublimation inkjet printing is widely used in digital textile printing. Since traditional screen printing costs more in terms of labor, digital textile printing, especially sublimation inkjet printing, is now becoming more and more popular in USA and Europe.



So that is Digital Printing......the line forms to the left.
