T-shirt drucken: There are a range of methods that can be used when printing a design into a T-Shirt, and every single method has its own pros and cons in relation to the others. The three main methods for T-Shirt printing are

1. Heat transfer
2. Screen printing
3. Direct to garment.

Screen printing

Screen printing is the most popular method and also one of the easiest methods mainly because it needs the least amount of tools to get done. In screen printing method, a woven mesh is used and a design in the form of a stencil is placed on top of the mesh, which resembles a screen then. After this, the plain T-Shirt is placed on a table below the screen. The screen is then placed on top of the shirt and is pressed down with force while a roller or squeegee is moved over the top of the screen which forces the ink onto the shirt to produce the design. This method is suggested when the volume of printing to be done is mid to large, as it is very fast and inexpensive.

Heat transfer

This is a difficult process but allows for more extensive designs and will make sure the final design is much clearer and crisper than a simple screen printed shirt. First of all the design needs to be printed using the right blend of ink, paper and printer. The design is placed upon the shirt and a type of heat source is then used to transfer the ink onto the shirt, which then dries the ink swiftly and ensures it sticks for good. The common tool used for the heat source is a heat press. This method is suggested when the volume of printing to be done is low to mid, as it is sluggish and not so economical.

Direct to garment

This is the latest type of printing has become a method used by several major manufacturers of T-Shirts, mainly because it offers the very best picture and can allow for a multiplicity of designs. The shirt is placed in a type of ink jet printer and the design is then laser-printed into the T-Shirt, creating a clear and crisp image. Volume will depend on type of DTG printer used, with the littlest one having only one head. This method is suggested for any volume of printing, swiftness and cost will depend on the DTG printer used. When designing T-Shirts for yourself or for other people, it is vital that you have a logo that you can incorporate into each T-Shirt that you design. By having a logo with your name you are building your own brand while helping people to distinguish your products. Custom clothing labels work well for this purpose.
