The quality, durability, and appearance of the T-shirt will be determined by the printing technique you use. Whether you are a small business owner, a designer, or just someone looking to create custom T-shirts, I think the knowledge we have will help you.
Understand Your T-shirt Design Needs
A beautiful T-shirt is often judged by its design. First, you need to think about the design and the number of colors you use. Then choose the printing technique to suit your needs.
Consider Your Budget
Budget is an important factor in choosing the right printing technique for your T-shirt. So, there are many types of printing technology today and each type has a different price.
Choose Based on Fabric Type
Not all printing techniques work on all fabrics. For example, sublimation printing is best for polyester T-shirts, while direct-to-garment printing works great on 100% cotton T-shirts. Therefore, fabric selection is an important step before printing the product.
