Manufacture of a T-shirt is simple but to be attractive it must have an attractive design on it. For this, we have to use a suitable ink. Also, we must choose a suitable printing method. The first thing to decide on is the color and type of fabric we want to use for our T-shirt.

Pick from a Wide Range of Fabric

The choice of your fabric ranges from burn-out and jersey to pigment-dyed and rayon. If you need a logo (if you wear a company T-shirt or belong to a sports club) on your banian, you can pick a suitable method for printing the logo. We have many top quality printing service providers to choose from. They will help you with the T-shirt logo printing in Delhi but you must decide on other things like the fabric, color, and so on. There are 5 different methods of printing on cloth.

  1. Direct to garment

  2. Screen printing

  3. Vinyl cutting

  4. Heat press printing

  5. Dye sublimation

Each method has its plus points. For instance, screen printing is a popular method which is cost effective when you have a large number of garments to print. This works fine if all the T-shirts are of the same color but it proves expensive and tedious if you want batches of T-shirts of different colors. Also, due to the construction of the sieves, it is not possible to make very small prints.

Print Unlimited Colors

This brings us to the next method, namely, direct to garment technique. In this, you can use unlimited colors. Also, you get great accuracy in the designs you print. You do not have any setup costs and so it proves cost-effective for most of the one-offs and small orders. This method fails for large orders because the process is too tedious. You cannot expect any volume discounts.

Cheap choice but expensive

If you do not care much for quality but only want a shirt "on demand", then you can choose the heat transfer method of printing. This kind of Customized T-shirt logo printing Service India is not durable and you need a large upfront investment for a heat press machine. In addition, you will have to put in the effort yourself meaning you need some degree of expertise.

Find a Suitable Ink

So, when you begin to print the garments, you need to ask yourself these questions - Do you want to print them yourself? If yes, do you have the equipment? Is the method cost effective? And lastly, what do you need the T-shirt for? Next, we come to the choice of inks for printing. The most basic ink for T-shirt printing is Plastisol Ink. This is a versatile ink that we can use on any T-shirt color. It is versatile and comes in bright colors.

The other inks are Water-Based Ink and Special Effects Ink. When your T-shirt is white (or a light color), you choose a water-based ink. It will not work on bright colored garments because it will not create the desired opaque effect. Moreover, they will fade with repeated washes. You can also create special effects with glittery and shiny inks.
