How To Screen Print T-Shirts

Another alternative technique used in the process is known as 'Heat Transfer Method'. The machines used in this process are very expensive and they are meant for industrial purposes only. This adds to the cost of the clients who want to get their own T-shirts printed by themselves. If you love the task of t-shirt printing, then there are varieties of varied designs that you can consider.

Well, depending on the design, you can wear custom shirts to work, at parties, and for other events. Custom tees also make great gifts or great party favors in special events. For example, plenty of birthdays and reunions have been celebrated with customized t-shirts bearing the photo of the birthday celebrant at the celebrating family.

So once you wear a t-shirt like that, ensure that it is visible. Once people notice you and smile, you should smile back and respond- "It's (the t-shirt) funny right?" 9 out of 10 times you will get a positive response and that should be your starting point for conversation.

A lot of T-shirt printing companies use screen printing to design T-shirts for their customers. However, the usage of this method has declined over the years in spite of being one of the oldest used methods to print T-shirts. Digital printing has been used on a large scale instead of screen printing in many companies today. Digital printing machines can be used in case of urgency and the procedure for printing is not tough at all. A lot of time is saved on using this type of printing.

If the company's focus is on kids, then for your prints, you might decide on pastel or bright colored shirts. Kids happen to love bright colored apparel and will be more likely to favor it over blander colors, which will help keep your company in the foremost thoughts of their parents. If you are geared to an adult clientele, as I mentioned earlier, black is always a great choice for custom T shirt printing, followed by grey, white and blue. Think of your audience and the focus of your company or organization.

There is another aspect to the whole fiasco of T-shirt printing. The print on your T-shirt reflects your personality. Depending on the message, you will be able to convey to a neutral person that you are a sweet, delicate, or charming individual. Boys will be able to display their rough and tough attitude as well, through these means. The T-shirt printing industry has seen a rise in demand in the last decade, where the craze for printed T-shirts has reached its peak.

Some of the newer companies now use digital printing for custom t-shirts. To do this, thy use a transfer paper with the design and it is pressed on to the t-shirt to transfer the design with the use of a pressing machine. Since there are many colors around, the shirts also have different requirements. For example, there are white shirts and those with lighter fabrics while there are also darker fabrics. These two types of fabrics should be printed on differently.

Another method is Direct To Garment (DTG) printing. This is a method of running the actual shirt through a printer which prints the image on to the shirt just as a standard in home ink jet printer would print out a document from your computer. There has been some talk in the design community of the ink drying or clumping up in these machines, but I have seen the work they do and it looks great and feels great on the shirt. This is a higher end option at this time with some printers going for around $25,000. You could get a used on for around $16,000, but it would take a lot of shirts to pay off that large of an investment.
