Mea paʻi kikohoʻe hoʻohana ʻia e hana i nā ʻano huahana like ʻole, me ka pepa, ka lole, ke kāwele a me ke kāleka. Ma muli o ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka paʻi kikohoʻe i ka lolouila e paʻi, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā ʻanuʻu a hiki ke ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki ma mua o nā hana kuʻuna. ʻO ia hoʻi, hiki ke ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kumukūʻai i ka wā e kauoha ai i nā puke haʻahaʻa a i ʻole no nā papahana noiʻi.
Nui nā ʻano hana paʻi kikohoʻe, mai ka paʻi inkjet maʻalahi i ka paʻi dye-sublimation a me ka paʻi pale. He ʻokoʻa kēlā me kēia ʻano hana a hiki ke hoʻohana pono no nā noi like ʻole.
ʻO ka paʻi inkjet kekahi o nā ʻano maʻamau o ka paʻi kikohoʻe a he koho maikaʻi loa ia no nā papahana he nui. Hiki iā ia ke hana ma nā ʻano like ʻole a maʻalahi ke hoʻonohonoho. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ia e hana i nā mea a pau a pono e hana ʻia nā paʻi ʻano nui me kahi mīkini paʻi inkjet loea.
ʻO ka Dye-sublimation kekahi ala kaulana ʻē aʻe o ka paʻi kikohoʻe e pili ana i ka hoʻomehana ʻana a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā mea pena i ka mea i paʻi ʻia. Loaʻa kēia i kahi paʻi kiʻekiʻe e paʻa a lōʻihi.
ʻO nā dyes reactive a me ka waikawa kekahi ʻenehana paʻi kikohoʻe kaulana i kūpono i nā ʻano mea like ʻole. Hoʻopili kēia mau mea pena me ka ʻili o ka lole e hana i kahi waihoʻoluʻu i ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku o ka ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku o ka ʻoi aʻe ma mua o nā paʻi inika pigment.
ʻOi aku ka palupalu o nā ʻīnika i hoʻohana ʻia i kēia kaʻina hana ma mua o nā mea i loaʻa i nā inika pigment. ʻO ia ke ʻano hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia i nā ʻano lole like ʻole, e like me ka pulupulu, ka hulu hipa a me ke kilika.
ʻO ka polyester kekahi lole maʻamau i hiki ke paʻi ʻia me nā ʻīnika kikohoʻe. He koho maikaʻi kēia ʻano lole no ka paʻi ʻana no ka mea paʻa a hiki ke holoi maʻalahi.
Ma waho aʻe o ka mea paʻa paʻa, hiki ke paʻi ʻia ka polyester me nā ʻano inika like ʻole e kiʻi i ke ʻano kikoʻī i makemake ʻia no ka papahana. He mea maikaʻi loa kēia no ka poʻe makemake i kahi paʻi ʻoi aku ka mālamalama a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
Ma waho aʻe o ka lilo ʻana i koho maikaʻi loa no ka nui o nā huahana i paʻi ʻia, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā ʻīnika kikohoʻe. He ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka ʻona ma mua o nā ʻenehana paʻi ʻē aʻe a ʻaʻole koi i nā mea paʻi mua, wai a i ʻole nā mea hoʻoheheʻe e hoʻohana ʻia.
Aia nā ʻīnika kikohoʻe ʻē aʻe i nā inika maloʻo kūikawā, i loaʻa i ka metala a me ke keʻokeʻo. He kūpono kēia mau ʻīnika no nā huahana e pono ai ka nānā ʻana a i ʻole ka hopena metala, a hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia i nā substrate like ʻole, me ka plastic.
ʻO kekahi ʻano kaulana o ka paʻi kikohoʻe he kaʻina i kapa ʻia he paʻi helical. Hāʻawi kēia kaʻina hana i nā mea hoʻohana e paʻi ma ke ʻano curved i mea e maʻalahi ai ka hana ʻana i nā mea i hoʻohālikelike ʻia, e like me nā tumblers, nā ʻōmole thermos a me nā ipu cylindrical ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke ʻano paʻi kikohoʻe e hana i kahi hoʻolālā maʻamau he ala maikaʻi loa ia e hoʻolaha ai i kahi huahana a lawelawe paha. He ala maikaʻi nō hoʻi ia e hoʻopilikino i kāu huahana a i ʻole lawelawe me kahi logo, hoʻolālā, kikokikona a me nā mea hou aku.
Loaʻa nā ʻīnika kikohoʻe ma nā ʻano kala like ʻole, me ka cyan, magenta, melemele a ʻeleʻele (CMYK) a me nā kala gamut kala lōʻihi. Loaʻa iā lākou ma nā ʻano hoʻopau like ʻole, e like me ka varnish a me ka matte.
