3. Printing process
If you want to customize printed T-shirts, you must first understand the printing process ~ the four major printing processes are Refers to: screen printing, direct printing, heat transfer and embroidery.
1. Silk screen printing
The printing process is through The design drawing is used to produce the film using a laser imagesetter, and then screen printing, printing and other complex processes are required. Color plates need to be made, which mainly include the steps of design, film production, printing, printing, and drying. Screen printing. Therefore, this way of printing cultural shirts can be understood as a way of combining manual work and machinery.
2. Digital direct injection

The pattern is directly sprayed onto the T-shirt through a computer connected to a digital direct inkjet printer. You can also imagine it as something we often see in our lives. With the printer, the T-shirt is equivalent to paper, and then the pattern in the computer is printed on the T-shirt.
3. Heat transfer
The principle of heat transfer process is similar to tattoo stickers , the pattern needs to be printed on special paper first, then laser cut, and then printed on the clothes using high-temperature pressing, which is suitable for patterns with rich colors or gradients. The color of the base shirt is preferably white or light, and the printing will look like nothing and has good breathability. If the base shirt is dark, it needs to be reinforced with color paint, and the printing will have a slight gelatinous texture.
