How To Make A Custom 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.

There s screen printing, a great idea for anybody with a small budget as it s an inexpensive way to get things done. It s been around for plenty of years meaning the likelihood of user error is slim and a great way to print on demand.

But in exchange for all those savings, there is a catch. For one, it is a very old method of printing and as such, so is the turnaround time for a completed product. This time is made even longer with the use of more than two colors and lastly, in this modern day and age, doesn t do well with high-quality images.

The downside to this, however, is that the equipment itself is fairly expensive and therefore an undesirable option for home or small business use. Not to mention it is ungainly big and requires a lot of space, and with all that space taken up, it does a pretty slow job at doing the actual printing. Making the machine better suited for once off clothing items rather than mass market use.

Closely, linked to that, is the style s inability to reproduce colors accurately at a rate that would make it viable for the mass printing of t-shirts.

The disadvantage of using heat press is that it takes a long time and therefore, it s not recommended for mass printing. Also, the method is only ideal for those who intend on creating and printing material that is in a light color, which means there s a limitation on what can be printed. The biggest disadvantage, however, is that due to the manner in which the t-shirts are customized, heat sensitive garments cannot be used to make custom t-shirts.

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.
