There are many printing processes in T-shirt customization. Here are some common processes:
1. Silk screen printing: This is the most common process. One of the common T-shirt printing processes. It uses a mesh-like stencil to transfer ink to the T-shirt. Each color requires a separate template, so for multi-color designs, multiple printings are required.
2. Thermal transfer: This process uses thermal paper and thermal ink to transfer patterns to T-shirts at high temperatures. This process is suitable for designs with complex patterns and rich colors, and can also be printed on fabrics of different materials.
3. Digital direct printing: This process uses a special printer to directly spray the pattern on the T-shirt. It can achieve high-definition patterns and be able to print on clothes of different colors.
4. Embroidery: Embroidery is a traditional printing process that uses needle and thread to embroider patterns on T-shirts. This craft is often used for logos, emblems or elaborate designs.
5. Laser engraving: This is a relatively new process that uses laser technology to engrave patterns on T-shirts. This process allows for detailed designs without leaving extra pigment on the fabric.
6. Inkjet printing: This process uses an inkjet printer to spray the pattern directly on the T-shirt. It works well with simple designs but may leave a certain tactile feel on clothing.
These are just some common T-shirt printing processes, and there are other special processes, such as water transfer printing, three-dimensional printing, etc. When choosing a printing process, you can determine the most appropriate method based on design requirements, budget, and required quantity.
