You need to print on t-shirt for your team, group or your company’s uniform, logo printing with big quantity or small quantity. Whatever you are customers who need to order t-shirt/polo shirt uniform or you only need to study t-shirt printing field…You will be overload with all the information about printing styles, ways to print on t-shirt and polo shirt. In general, 4 t-shirt printing technologies below are considered as the most popular and useful nowadays. The information shared below will be very useful for you, don’t miss any information at any details.

Printing or embroidery is a choice. Small image or text is unable to embroider. In this case, printing is the best choice. But you must know well the characteristics of fabric and the difference of each printing technologies. Each kind of fabric will be only suitable with one or two printing technologies. And it’s not necessary with embroidery. At present, we have 4 printing technologies in common:

a.     Print on heat transfer paper: Print the image or text on special paper. Press at high temperature in a short time. The ink will be transferred from paper to fabric. The advantage is the lowest price, but the disadvantage is only suitable with bright colors (white color is the best) and polyester fiber. If you try on 100% cotton fabric, the image or text is still sharp after pressing. But only one time to wash, the image or text will fly away. And if you try on dark color fabric such as black fabric, you will unable to see anything.

 b.     Vinyl pressing printing or t-shirt decal printing: it’s a special kind of decal, a decal for fabric only. You can cut vinyl and press at high temperature in a short time or you can print directly on vinyl and cut, press also. The advantage is still sharp image or text with small size. The disadvantage is high price and rugged, especially with big image or text. Wearer will feel uncomfortable.

 c.     Digital printing or direct on garment printing technology: it looks like an office printer, but it’s bigger. You can print directly on garment. The advantage is a comfortable printer and soft feeling, especially with complex image or text. The disadvantages are highest price, the best with 100% cotton fiber only, and low quality ( At present, there is only one or two manufacturers who supply better quality of screen printing, as my experience.)

d.     Silk screen printing: it’s a traditional printing technology and very easy to learn. The advantages are cheapest price, especially with big quantity and low investment, the best choice with all kinds of fabric and colors. The disadvantages are very expensive with small quantity orders, taking more time to prepare, using a lot of workers and space, the cause of environmental pollution and harmfulness to health of worker.

 Please check again the elements concern with: size – quantity – level of complex image or text…Before making decision. There are a lot of risks of printing such as: It’s easy to peel off after washing by washing machine. Color of screen printing may be changed after several washing times. Color from fabric may cover the screen printing and other cases. Meanwhile, embroidery has no risks in most cases. Of course, it’s only correct with high quality thread and you have to take time to be approved thread color before embroidering. It’s usually brighter than thread for sewing.

Which technology will be the best for your screen  printing. This is the whole processing of working and experiencing of people who work on printing field. This is a combination with making clear of screen printing, content, fabric material, color of fabric and quantity to make decision the best solutions. Of course, we won’t discuss about the case of “ one for all”. It means that you use one technology for all kinds of fabric, all kinds of screen printing, all kinds of color and quantity. That’s why we can not reach to the best. You know, each technology has both advantages and disadvantages as I mentioned above. So, we can not make sure that which one is the best. The advice for you will belong to what group you are in. I will show you in detail of each group as below. From now on, you will know well what to do and prepare for your purposes:

You need to supply image or content to print on, total quantity and take your t-shirt to them to test material and color. Those are the basic information that can help them to make decision with the best solutions. From now on, you can ask the best price.
