Different Types of T-Shirt Printing:
Which One to Choose?

T-shirt printing is a great way to express your personality or create custom apparel for your business. There are several popular printing methods, each suited to different needs. Let’s take a look at the three most common: DTF, DTG, and screen printing.

1. DTF (Direct-to-Film)
DTF involves printing a design onto a special film, which is then transferred to the fabric using a heat press.

 • Pros: Works on all fabric types, produces detailed and durable prints.

 • Cons: The print may feel slightly raised, and the process is more time-consuming.

2. DTG (Direct-to-Garment)
DTG uses a specialized printer to print directly onto the fabric.
• Pros: Produces vibrant, detailed designs, ideal for complex images.
• Cons: Best suited for cotton fabrics; prints may fade faster with frequent washing.

3. Screen Printing
Screen printing uses stencils to apply ink to fabric, making it perfect for large orders.
• Pros: Extremely durable prints, vibrant colors, and cost-effective for bulk production.
• Cons: Not ideal for small orders or intricate designs with multiple colors.

How to Choose the Right Method?
• For detailed designs and small orders, DTF or DTG are excellent options. 

• For bold, durable prints and larger quantities, screen printing is the way to go.
