How It's Done, When Each Is Best, And How To Find A Good Printer


 
Business

Graphic tshirt printing is a timeless tradition for many groups and teams.

The annual trip to the personalized tshirt printing shop is something many of us look forward to.

The best part is seeing the process, choosing the patterns, fonts, colours.

There are many methods to have your shirt printed.

Today we will discuss how shirts are printed and the statistics of each method — heat press, direct to garment (DTG), and sublimation, to name a few.

Methods

There are many methods used to print tshirts.

Most of the methods used involve uploading or drawing the design in a computer to literally print onto the fabric.

One of the oldest and most reliable methods is called screen printing.

This involves using a series of stencils, or screens, to build the design onto the fabric with ink.

CAD heat transfer is an easy process that involves printing the pattern onto vinyl material, laying the pattern on the shirt, and using heat to press it into the garment.

DTG printing is the process of printing your design onto the garment with an inkjet printer.

Sublimation is a popular method which uses a dye-based ink that converts to a gas and back to a solid in the garment’s material with heat and pressure.

How do they compare?

Each method we have talked about has its own good benefits.

If you are only having a few shirts made with a simple colourless or minimal coloured pattern, screen printing is one of the most durable.

The next most durable is sublimation — it makes the ink become integrated with the fabric, therefore less fading or wear.

Sublimation is great if you have a pattern that you want repeated all over the tshirt.

DTG is a great method if you need more than 5 shirts, multiple colours, or detailed patterns.

CAD heat transfer is typically used for numbers and logos.

It can be a good method if you have a small order or want your pattern to stick out more.

Typically, CAD printed designs have only one or two colours and simple graphics.

When comparing these methods, the best one for its durability is sublimation and screen printing.

For designs with complex details and colours, it is best to opt for DTG printing.

Fabrics to use

Most printing methods are better done on pure cotton for durability.

CAD can be applied on almost any fabric, as can screen printing.

Sublimation is best on poly-blend shirts — like polyester.

Finding a great printer

Is your annual game season, reunion, outing, or other group activity about to come around?

When it is time to get the matching graphic tshirt printing done, research a few shops to find the best quality.

Look at online reviews.

Ask family, friends, and neighbours who they would suggest.

Pay attention to the quality of material and personalized tshirt printing method.

Compare prices according to how many you need.

Once you have found the place, simply choose your pattern, font, and colours, then wait for the day your event starts.
