Types of Shirt Printing: 7 Methods and the Blanks for Each
The main types of shirt printing, also called t-shirt printing methods, are screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG), direct-to-film (DTF), dye sublimation, heat transfer vinyl, plastisol transfers and embroidery, which uses thread instead of ink. A logo that looks sharp on one shirt can crack on another, vanish on a dark color, or feel like a sticker after a few washes, so the shirt matters as much as the method. GotApparel has supplied blank apparel since 2007 and carries more than 8,500 products from over 160 brands, so the blanks named below come from a working catalog.
