1. CHOOSING A PRINTING METHOD

Choosing the right printing method is crucial to achieving high quality designs on your T-shirts, but with so many methods out there…. 

Direct to Film (DTF) – a versatile and quality method that involves printing a design onto special film and then using a heat press to transfer it onto the garment. Works well on a wide range of fabrics including polyester, cotton and nylon/ other synthetic blends. 

Screen Printing – a traditional method that uses a screen stencil to apply an ink design onto fabric. Produces vibrant long-lasting prints, but ink absorption can vary between fabrics. 

Sublimation – uses heat to transfer dye onto fabrics, creating bright and vibrant designs. Produces photo quality images but limited to white or lighter coloured fabrics. 

Embroidery – a classic method that involves stitching a design directly onto a garment using thread. Produces durable, premium designs ideal for logos and badges. 

Transfer – involves printing a design onto paper and then using heat and pressure to apply it to the garment. A versatile method that can be used for a variety of fabrics. 

4. PRINTING PROCESS

Pre-Treatment (For DTG and some Screen Printing) 

Wash and dry the T-shirt to remove residues. 

Apply pre-treatment solution if required, allowing the t-shirt to fully dry before printing. 

Printing the Design 

Follow the specific process for your chosen method. A good tip is to practice beforehand on scrap fabric to test color accuracy and design placement. 

Curing the Print 

Heat set the ink using a heat press or dryer to ensure durability. 

Follow manufacturer instructions for temperature and timing.
