Whether you’re beginning your own custom printing business or simply want to sell custom t-shirts, you need to understand the differences between the various t-shirt printing procedures and techniques.

Some printing procedures are best suited for specific fabrics, while others may be best suited for a task depending on its volume. Furthermore, the amount of colours in the design you intend to print will have an impact on the printing method you choose. Choosing a printing technique might be tough with so many options!
True, digital technology has changed the world of t-shirt printing options, and many new printing methods have developed, but traditional printing is still a viable option. Depending on what you or your client require, printing processes such as plastisol transfers that employ a combination of heat and pressure can also be a wonderful option.
In any case, let’s compare the different t-shirt printing procedures so you may get your designs on t-shirts and sell them as quickly as feasible. T-shirt printing technologies include screen-printing, which is the most well-known. Screen printing has been used by humans since before you and I were born. Screenprinting is now done by both machines and by hand. Let’s take a look at why screenprinting is so popular.
The screen printing inks are a big part of the enchantment of screen printing. Screen printing inks are thicker than inks used in other t-shirt printing procedures, allowing them to last longer and provide brilliant colours that are true to life. It is critical that you or your screen printer utilise high-quality inks. Low-quality inks fade quickly and have an odd feel to them.
Screenprinting is suitable for large-scale projects. You may print anywhere from 200 to 500 t-shirts using a gallon of screen-printing ink, depending on the size of the design, the ink quality, the amount of squeegee pressure applied, the number of strokes, and the mesh count. That’s all the things to think about when determining how cost-effective screen printing is.
DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing is a type of inkjet printing that allows you to print full-color, high-resolution photographs straight onto a t-shirt. DTG Printing is best for designs or artwork that are too complicated for other printing techniques, such as screen printing, which is best for designs with a limited number of colours.
DTG printing machines have a lot of colour mixing power, so they can print even the smallest details. DTG Printing is also the best option if you only need to print a few (1-5) t-shirts because it is as simple as loading a blank shirt into the DTG Printing machine and printing directly onto it, whereas screen printing requires you to go through a multi-step, back-breaking process to print your t-shirt.
In a word, Heat Transfer Printing is placing sheets of transfer material on top of garments and heat pressing them to permanently adhere bespoke graphics to the garments. The required graphic is first digitally printed with solvent ink on special heat transfer paper.
When pressed using a heat press machine, this type of ink allows the design to transfer from the paper to the t-shirt. When compared to other processes, the beauty of heat transfer printing is that it works on a variety of materials and fabrics, generates nearly no mess, and requires less maintenance.
Dye-Sublimation One of the most prevalent types of heat transfer printing is printing. It works by printing designs digitally and then heating them to transfer the dye to t-shirts.
Dye-sublimation printing, unlike other heat transfer printing techniques, uses dye-based ink that transforms into a gas when heated. Dye-based inks change from a solid to a gas, then back to a solid, due to heat, pressure, and time. Because the gas joins the polyester, it becomes a part of the material rather than a coating on top. Isn’t it intriguing?
Sublimation is a popular technique for all-over printing, as seen in the YouTube video above. Dye-sublimation printing can achieve an allover print effect that neither screenprinting nor DTG printing can. Designers may totally express themselves and produce one-of-a-kind t-shirts with all-over print t-shirts.
Plastisol Transfer Printing is similar to screenprinting, except that the artwork is first ink-jet printed on plastisol transfer paper, and then the design is heat pressed onto the shirt using this paper.
As you might have guessed, this type of custom t-shirt printing allows us t-shirtpreneurs to outsource a portion of our business if we so want. You can send your drawings to companies that will print them on the high-quality plastisol transfer paper you need and then ship them to you. You can use a heat press to attach the designs on t-shirts once you have them. Amazing.
Another method of heat transferring graphics onto t-shirts is CAD (Computer-Aided Design)-Cut Printing. This t-shirt printing method is most typically used for heat pressing numbers, names, and logos onto CAD-Cut vinyl material and then applying them to sports t-shirts or jerseys.
Simply defined, this method entails cutting out designs and letters on coloured vinyl with a machine. The vinyl is then transferred to the t-shirt using a heat press. CAD-Cut vinyl is great for printing 1-3 colours on smaller numbers of garments, such as for a football team’s order.
