Related Production Methods
The most relevant production methods are those that accept PNG directly as raster artwork or use it as a meaningful intermediate or reference.
| Production method | PNG role | Related knowledge |
|---|---|---|
| Sublimation | Direct raster artwork input | Mirroring, transfer layout, color profile, coated substrates, heat and pressure |
| DTF | Direct raster artwork input | RIP processing, white underbase, film, powder, curing, transfer, and finishing |
| DTG | Direct raster artwork input | Garment color, pretreatment, white ink, platen setup, printing, and curing |
| Laser engraving | Direct raster input in compatible engraving workflows | Grayscale preparation, material safety, focus, speed, power, and line interval |
| Print and cut | Printed artwork component | Registration and separate vector contour geometry |
| HTV and vinyl cutting | Reference or printable-media artwork in limited workflows | Vector cut paths for standard cut material |
| Embroidery | Visual source before digitizing | Stitch type, density, underlay, sequence, fabric, hooping, and machine format |
| Laser cutting and CNC routing | Reference or tracing source | Vector geometry, dimensions, toolpaths, materials, and safety |
| FDM and resin 3D printing | Limited texture or reference role | 3D modeling, mesh validation, slicing, supports, materials, and post-processing |
