Different techniques and materials create dramatically different results. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10515.htmlAs your experienced cup guide, let me take you through this colorful universe to determine the true style champion!


Meet Our 7 Contestants:

Screen Printing - The veteran: mature tech, budget-friendly, but limited details and struggles with gradients.

Pad Printing- The flexible artist: great for curves, but slower for small batches only.

Heat Transfer - The colorful showstopper: vibrant designs that may fade under heat.

Water Decal - The 3D expert: http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10515.htmlrich textures at higher cost and complexity.

Hydrographic - The pattern master: realistic finishes best for large surfaces.

3D Printing - The custom creator: unlimited designs come with premium pricing.

Laser Engraving - The permanent marker: durable but limited to simple monochrome.
