Are you curious to learn about the fantastic t-shirt printing method or the reasons behind selecting a specific print method for particular designs? Here are some of the amazing t-shirt printing methods that are offered by Josa Imaging, your one-stop destination to acquire cheap printing services in Singapore.
Screen Print with Under Base
There are various reasons to opt for screen printing. The foremost being, it is economical and lasts for the lifetime of an apparel. It is most beneficial when you print a simple, single spot color design on multiple t-shirts at the same time.
The amazing part: Screen printing is quite handy when used on all types of apparel materials like poly blends and cotton. On top of this, the color is more vibrant than other print methods; however, sometimes, it feels heavy on the material. Integrate white under the design base and it will enhance the layers of ink. However, it will aid in maintaining the brightness of the colors.
Simulated Process
This process costs a lot due to its attribute of being utilized for complex designs that cannot be produced using the traditional spot color applications of ink. With its help, you can create halftone or any tonal design, including photography-like images.
Four Color Process
This is perhaps the oldest printing method that is used to decorate apparel using the same method as an inkjet printer. It utilices the four-color process, including Magento, Yellow, Black and Cyan. It helps in creating a comprehensive spectrum of colors. This type of t-shirt print works best on light-colored or white garments.
Halftone Photo Print
In this method, the simulation of shadow and gradients is carried out in the most economic manner. They do it by employing a single color rather than multiple colors made up of tiny dots. Typically, the bigger the dots, the colors seem to be more saturated. Did you know that the smaller dots in this method are employed for “lighter” design areas? If you look at it from a short distance, the dots appear blurred and its illusion represents the shadow, tones and depths to copy photography quality imagery.
Discharge Water Based Print
This is one of the best t-shirt printing methods as it provides a soft feel to the garment. Instead of remaining on top of the fabric, including plastisol inks, the discharge process gets rid of the dye color from the t-shirt and shows off either the natural color of the cloth employed to make the garment or replaces the garment color when mixed with another color.
Full-Color Digital Transfers
This type of printing is recommended when you are looking for an all-inclusive color image reproduction when applied to any material like spandex, nylon and even performance wear. This method can sometimes be employed as a substitute for the embroidery method, in case the image consists of lots of precise details. The images are subject to the heat application and pressure onto the garment.
Glow-in-the-Dark Printing
This Night Glow Ink printing method is preferred when you want to get low-light visual impact on the apparel when it glows during the nighttime events. Glow-in-the-dark inks need to be exposed to a light source to charge it. With greater exposure to light, you can get brightness and extension of the glow effect.
