Is digital printing the same as the iron-ons you can make at home?

FAQ Answers to Your Common Questions - Arizona Cap Company -...
Yes & No ? Yes the process is the same in that your logo is printed using an ink jet printer, a carrier paper and applied with heat. No ? In that the materials and equipment we use are not the same. We use pigmented inks (not water soluble) in a wide format high resolution printer. We apply the logo with a commercial heat press at high temperature and most importantly under high pressure. This results in a significantly better print than you can get at home.
