There are mainly three different types of t-shirt printing available today. Each has its own advantages and is equally own restrictions.

Screen printing

First, the screen printing. It is by far the oldest and still most widely used method of the three. From the simplest hand printed fully automated method for large presses, the principle remains essentially the same. It is a simple process. However, it is much time to set up and clean the screens. Most companies charge the customer a fee concept to make the screens. However, it is only once the fees and screens are usually stored in the client if you wish to reprint the design.

Screen printing offers a very clean color printing. Ideal for many logos and text. Perfect for mass production and maintenance of low print price. Excellent durability to washing and re-washed several times before fading.However, not really suitable for photographic reproduction unless you are willing to have a lower level of the photo image. (A lot of halftone dots visible). Also, significantly, each color must be printed separately. Serigraph also can be a complicated business to get into.

Print digital t shirt

The second method of t-shirt printing is digital printing. Despite a fairly nascent technology, machines Digital printing is an interesting complement to the print industry t-shirt. It offers a service that can not screen printing, namely, Print on demand technology. The shirt is stretched over a frame and is below a set of inkjet heads. The pledge is printed in the same way as ink jet prints on paper from the printer.

With digital printing, you can print the designs only economically. Unlike screen printing is very little setup. It is excellent for reproduction prints, multiple color designs and logos. Clean working environment.

Unfortunately, the cost per shirt printing expensive and slow means the shirt is usually higher in the purchase price. Wash cycles of a t-shirt digital printing are much lower than the print screen when many begin to disappear after a pair of washing. The technology is still young and that the machines have inherent problems of user, including print heads constantly clogged with particulate material and sediment cartridges. Despite the dark t shirt printing is possible, many users report problems with white ink is needed to cover the base the first design.

Printing heat transfer

The third method is thermal transfer printing. It is as its name suggests. An image is printed on transfer paper, which is in turn placed under a heat press and bonded through the heating in the garment shirt. This method is inexpensive and is often favored by the domestic user. A variant of this is the iron in the variety of paper can buy in Many office supply stores.

It is only realistic expectation for individual use and low. If you want to go into business printing t shirts, is an attractive alternative to the above techniques. It's a little less expensive to purchase the equipment. However, a decent press typically runs at just under $ 1000. You have to reach temperatures higher than the method recommended by the iron in available packages. The printer (usually an Epson brand) can run $ 2 – $ 3,000)

With printing heat transfer: Photographic and complex multi-color images are achievable. Clean working environment.
