When it comes to printing on apparel, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, certain characteristics can help determine which method is best for each project. Here are some key considerations:

Uniform Printing

With screen Uniform Printing , your artwork is replicated on a piece of cloth using a stencil. The mesh screen is covered in a stencil of your design, and ink is then poured over the top. A squeegee then applies pressure to the fabric, forcing the ink through the mesh, replicating your design on the garment. This is a great option for large-scale prints in high quantities, but it’s not ideal for photos or gradation of colors, and it requires special care to ensure that the screens don’t wear out.

Another popular option is plastisol transfer printing. It’s often referred to as indirect screen printing, because it uses a similar technique but with a different material. This process starts by printing the design on a sheet of plastisol transfer paper, which is then aligned with the t-shirt and heat-pressed. This results in a high-quality, long-lasting print.

Another important factor is detail accuracy, which refers to how well fine lines and small details are reproduced. Finally, you’ll want to consider whether or not the print will hold up against washing and wear-and-tear.
