Vintage Sexy Girl Social Distortion Design shirt

Back in the kingteeshops. we started printing t-shirts by hand Vintage Sexy Girl Social Distortion Design shirt. Dried them in the Kilburn launderette and then sold them outside local gigs. That passion very quickly became how we earned our living. At the time, if you wanted to print t-shirts on a commercial basis, screen printing was the recognised method. We became experts in it and, over the years, have screen printed literally millions of garments. These days, we often get asked about DTG printing and screen printing and how to choose between the two. DTG, screen printing t-shirts and the differences.

The blank, undecorated apparel that you pick may have a bearing on which printing method is chosen (or even possible) Vintage Sexy Girl Social Distortion Design shirt. Direct to Garment printing works best on 100% cotton garments and this is what we recommend. Anything less runs the risk of poor results. The ink used with DTG is water based and thinner than that used in screen printing. This has environmental advantages and also facilitates designs with greater levels of detail, but it also means that the ink may not be properly absorbed by manmade materials such as polyester.

Screen printed designs tend to be more vibrant, something that can really jump off the fabric, due to the higher opacity of some screen printing inks. And if colour matching is vital to your branded merchandise, screen printing is also the best choice. The Pantone colour system has a definite edge and is a tried and tested way of achieving the most accurately matched colours. Another aspect to consider is durability. Colours on expertly screenprinted t-shirts will last. However well done, those on DTG printed clothing will fade with washing and time – the density of ink is subject to ageing.
