Any differences between Belt printing and all-over ?
Hey guyz, first of all, exuse my english I'm French, which is maybe why I don't understand what is a belt printing ? I mean, where does the name come from ? For me a belt is something you worn around the waist. When it comes to shirt, I say, this shirt is a all-over, meaning it is printed everywhere. Seems a lot of people here say : It's a belt printed one. How comes ? :)

Just wondering. Cya

its like a conveyer belt. you lay the shirt flat and it rolls along a belt passing through however many screens necessary to print a design all over the shirt. you have to print one side first, and then send it through again to print the other side

Btw I found this : (computer science) A type of impact printer similar to a chain printer in which the characters are carried on a moving belt rather than a chain.



But I'm not sure I understand everything =)

Hehe yeah I just watched it too. Wouldn't have thought something like that will be on youtube.

This print is not a real all-over anyway, but that doesn't matter, seems they use a belt-printing technologie !

yea, that was just for this specific design, but if they needed to, that printer could print all over the entire shirt
