The earliest known form of printing applied to paper was woodblock printing, which appeared prior to 220 AD in China. Later developments in printing technology include the movable type invented by Bi Sheng around 1040 AD and the printing press invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century.
Typically, color printing uses four-color inks: cyan , magenta , yellow, and black. The resulting "primary" mixtures are red, green , and blue when the CMY "secondary" is combined at full strength.
In 2 color printing, instead of one on lower end marketing materials, two ink colors are used, vs. four on higher-end commercially printed pieces. Typically, the inks used are Pantone ® colors, and are frequently used in a unique color to print a logo, design or symbol.
No, unlike the ink used on inkjet printers, toners from laser printers do not dry up even if you leave them for a long time. Instead of ink, laser printers require toner, a fine powder that forms the text and images that you print on the paper found in a toner cartridge.
DTG Printing is also the best option if you are looking to print just a few (1-5) t-shirts, since it is as easy as loading a blank shirt into the DTG Printing machine and printing directly on it, while screen printing requires you to print your t-shirt through a multi-step, back-breaking process.
Thanks to PNGs' high color depth, the format can handle high resolution photos easily. However, since it is a lossless web format, file sizes tend to become very large. PNG graphics are optimized for the screen. You could definitely print out a PNG, but you'd be better off with a JPEG (lossy) or a TIFF file.
Among the most lucrative and popular digital products to sell are printables, or downloadable planners, journals, stickers, and art prints. As many digital product creators have shown, it's entirely possible to earn a side- or even full-time income from selling printables.
