For t-shirt printing, there are many kinds of methods. And today we will introduce you 4 common methods.
1. Sublimation printing
Sublimation printing is a common way to use for t-shirt, and according to the fabric you use, the transfer paper can be divided into sublimation transfer paper and t-shirt paper, but they both use sublimation ink.
The sublimation paper can transfer image to the fabric clearly. But it can’t be used for 100% cotton. If you want to print on the 100% cotton fabric, then you’d better choose the t-shirt transfer paper.
2. Transfer printing with PU
This method is similar with the sublimation printing, but you need the eco-solvent ink. You can print the high accuracy and colorful images with PU printing, but the disadvantage is that the printed places will be airtight.
3. Direct to garment printing
DTG becomes more and more common nowadays. For this kind of methods, the fabric is soft after printing, and the image is colorful, but is is not as clear as other printing methods. Besides, DTG needs the pigment ink, so it will cost a lot.
4. Other printing methods
Screen printing and offset printing are also popular in t-shirt printing. For screen printing, it use the oil ink and has high accuracy, but the cost is also high, and you can’t print many different colors at the same time.
For offset printing, it use the offset ink, and the disadvantage is that the printed places will be airtight.
If you want to start your t-shirt printing business, then try to select the suitable method for yourself.
