Top T-Shirt Printing related questions

Custom t-shirt printing is often used for business promotions, sports team, and charity events. Some businesses also sell a small run of unique custom t-shirts in their market stall or online shop, or you might order a one-off custom t-shirt as a unique gift for family members and friends.

The best file format for t-shirt printing depends on your printer, but common formats include PDF, JPEG and TIFF. Check with your chosen printer for their specific requirements.

You can use transfer paper to print on t-shirts, but your chosen printer will likely use digital printing or screen printing techniques. It’s more common to use transfer paper for DIY printing at home.

Screen printing and digital printing are popular professional t-shirt printing techniques that will professionally showcase your brand and logo. 

DIY printing is great if it’s just for fun, but if you’re trying to get a professional look, it can be time consuming and frustrating. Professional t-shirt printing is more accurate, longer lasting, and often more affordable.

What does t-shirt printing include?

Whether you need one branded t-shirt or hundreds, your professional t-shirt printer will be able to help. They’ll supply a range of t-shirt designs, colours, and options to suit your requirements. Here are some of the services, inclusions, and techniques your t-shirt printer may offer:

Design

If you don’t have a design ready to go, your t-shirt printer may be able to help. They’ll create the design you want in the right formats for printing. Or they can work with your graphic designer to create a design that fits your shirt and makes your brand or message stand out.

Screen printing

Screen printing is a popular technique for creating custom t-shirts. Traditional screen printing involves transferring an image using a mesh stencil, which is printed directly onto the t-shirt. Each screen can only hold one ink colour, so additional screens are needed to form separate stencils for each new colour in your design. Smaller quantities of t-shirts are usually done by hand, while larger bulk orders are done by an automatic screen printing press machine. After printing, your shirt will be heated to set the ink so it can withstand washing.

Digital printing

Digital t-shirt printing is also known as direct-to-garment printing. This technique involves using a specialised inkjet printer to print your design directly onto the t-shirt material. It’s a quick way to get small print-runs of up to 20 shirts done. Digital printing is also perfect for intricate designs and even printing photographs onto t-shirts. 

Small runs

If you need t-shirt printing near you for just a small print-run, you’ll find plenty of local professional printers and hobbyists who are happy to help. Whether it’s a gift for a friend, or you need custom t-shirts for a small team, a small run of custom t-shirts will usually be done using digital printing techniques. This is because digital printing involves less preparation, so it’s quicker and more affordable to do on a small scale.

Bulk orders

Need a bulk order of custom t-shirts printed? Professional t-shirt printers offer reduced prices for bulk orders, so it’s worth considering the number of t-shirts you need printing upfront. That way, you’ll reduce your overall cost per item. If your design isn’t too complex, your printer will likely recommend screen printing for a quality job that’s quick to do at scale (once the initial screens are prepared). Once the shirts are ready, they’ll package up your order in boxes for easy transporting.

Other branded items

Many professional t-shirt printers also offer other brand design and marketing merchandise such as tote bags, caps, and drink holders. So if you think you’ll need other branded products in the future, ask your printer to see how they can help.
