You can apply an image to a T-shirt in many ways, but we use three of the fastest methods – these are direct printing, sublimation, and thermal films.
- Direct printing on a T-shirt is when the T-shirt is loaded into a special printer with special inks. You can print not only on white T-shirts but also on colored ones (black, blue, red, purple, etc.). Direct printing on T-shirts is only possible if the T-shirt is made of cotton fabric. The image is not the brightest, but it’s enough for the image to be well-perceived and read. This method is best suited for T-shirts with photos or full-color images.
- Thermal adhesive inscriptions on T-shirts – this is when a monochrome image, previously cut from special films, is glued to the fabric under the influence of temperature. The films can be of various colors. This application can be done on almost any fabric, but it’s most often used for cotton T-shirts. T-shirts with prints in direct printing allow you to apply a full-color image, that is, a photograph. When applying an image to a T-shirt using contour thermal adhesives, it’s impossible to achieve a complete image, but you can achieve a very saturated color, one or several. This method is best suited for T-shirts with a logo or text in one or more colors.
- Applying a print to a T-shirt using thermal sublimation – allows you to transfer a full-color image of photographic quality from special paper to fabric using high temperatures. This is the fastest way to apply an image to a T-shirt. The image turns out more vivid and bright than with printing on cotton. But there’s one condition, the fabric of the T-shirt must be synthetic.
It is also possible to use combined application when you need to get both a photorealistic picture and a slightly voluminous inscription on a T-shirt. In any case, our manager will offer the most optimal option for your request. You can either provide a ready-made design or prepare a layout with our designers who know the technology of applying prints to T-shirts and will make the T-shirt cool.
