Clothes printing is a method of decorating shirts and other types of garments. It’s a great way to create personalized clothes and accessories for people who want to stand out from the crowd.
The most popular methods of clothes printing include screen, DTG, and heat transfer. Each of these methods has its own unique pros and cons, but they all offer durable designs that are easy to produce.
Screen Printing (Silkscreen)
This method is a popular choice because it produces beautiful results with minimal setup time. However, it can be expensive for small orders and requires a lot of space and equipment.
DTG Printing
DTG printing is an option for those who want to add a design to a shirt, but don’t have the space or specialized equipment required by other methods. DTG prints a design onto the shirt using a special ink that fuses with the fabric to make it a permanent part of it.
HTV Printing
HTV is an option for printing simple letterings and logos on t-shirts, as well as shapes and photos. It’s an affordable and quick way to produce a lot of t-shirts, but it doesn’t work on light fabrics and can’t be used with heat-sensitive clothing.
Dye Sublimation
The best professional way to print a large, complex design on t-shirts is dye sublimation. This cool but costly method uses heat to turn the dye into a gas that bonds with the fabric.
Other options are heat press printing and DTF (direct to film) printing. Both of these methods are easy to use and work on a variety of different types of shirts. They are also quick and affordable, but they may not hold up as well on darker shirts or on heat-sensitive fabrics like cotton.
