The Different Ways In Which One Can Print T Shirt Transfers Designs

By Timothy Lewis


T-shirts can be viewed in one of two ways. The first is as a means of keeping the body covered and perhaps looking good at the same time, while the other method is to used this undiscerning garment as a means to promote a brand or a business, without shoving it down people s throats. And yet, if done right it can be very effective but some important decisions need to be taken about the t shirt transfers designs before anything else.

The very first of these ways use through the use of a method called screen printing. This method is used for a number of reasons. The first is that it s quite inexpensive, due to the manner in which the items are printed being so simple. And it should it be since the method is relatively old compared to the others as it dates back to the 20th century.

For mass produced products it is usually the type of printing to root for but it does require more dedication and time in order to master before the doors can be opened for people looking to print their custom shirts.

Lastly, given that screenprinting is a very old method of printing clothing items, it has had a lot of time for people to explore and experiment with the manner in which it can be used. And as such, it has rendered it a very versatile technique when it comes to printing on cotton and poly cotton clothing items.

A great way to print t-shirts at home is through the use of what is known as the Heat transfer Paper method. As the name implies, it s through the use of transfer paper, which can be bought from any retailer and then use a printer in order to print the design that one would use on their custom t-shirt.

Lastly, a printing method suited for the digital age in which we live in. Introducing the CAD cut vinyl printing method. A printing method that incorporates the use of software in order to do its job. It s a great way of printing on t-shirts of different colors and textures, a limitation that other printing methods seem to have.

But the following method needs little or no room for error because it s a more restrictive printing method. Furthermore, there to be printed high start-up costs as one requires special cutters, heat press, and software in order to make it possible to do anything. These barriers to entry can be a turn off for some and to it being a niche product, per say.

All things considered, printing t-shirts using screen printing is great for a number of reasons, and the fact that it s an old method means that those who do it are most likely to know what they are doing when it comes to this sort of thing. But it s not a method without its faults and they need to be considered when deciding whether to print or not. If the Pros outweigh the cons than don t think twice, however, if one or more cons disturb you. Consider another method to print garments with.
