  1. How To Create Durable Prints On Apparel? Custom printed shirts are growing in popularity. But people demand the best quality custom printed shirts. Nobody loved cracked, chipped, or faded designs. Here, in this article, we have discussed some important points to creating durable prints on apparel: 1. Choose Right Printing Technique Have you ever seen a picture of someone's outfit, and thought, "That'd look better in silk screening? Or maybe emblazoned on a shirt?" Either they have done it themselves or they've hired the service of an expert to do that, either way. Silkscreen printing is one of the most popular methods used by people because it allows you to create your artwork and then apply it to just about anything, including apparel. When it comes to choosing the right technique, you can also take the help of professionals. If you are choosing dye sublimation, then you should for dye sublimation Vancouver contractors. 2. Choosing The Right Base Fabric Before you even start thinking about your design, it’s worth considering what type of fabric to use. If you’re planning on using a print technique such as screen printing, it’s important to choose the right type of fabric.

  2. The texture and weight of the garment will affect how the ink is absorbed and therefore how your image looks when printed. Here are some things to consider: The ability of the garment to absorb ink - Your t-shirt should be able to absorb ink easily so that it doesn’t bleed during printing. Thin fabrics absorb better than thick ones, so if you're going for a super-soft design, go for a thinner fabric such as a cotton jersey. ● The thickness of the material - Consider if your chosen fabric can withstand your preferred print technique. For example, if you want a thicker material like French terry or fleece then avoid heat press transfers because they don't usually look great on thick materials. ● The amount of detail in your design - If your logo or graphic has several colors and small details, then opt for silk screen printing or direct to garment printing since these techniques can handle intricate designs with ease. ● 3. Choosing The Right Printer Choosing the right printer for your custom print design is very important. How can you choose the right one for your needs? Here are some questions to ask yourself to help you find the best printer:

  3. What kind of image quality do you need? If you need a high-resolution print, go with a laser printer. If not, an inkjet will be fine. ● What kind of paper stocks do you want? If you prefer thicker cardstock, look for a laser printer that can handle it. For lighter stock, go with an inkjet. ● 4. Choosing The Right Ink The right kind of ink can make all the difference in how your design turns out. The first thing you want to consider is what type of fabric you’ll be printing on. Keep in mind that some types of ink are better for specific fabrics or prints than others. For example, if you’re printing on soft material like cotton, water-based inks work well when the color is light while discharge inks work best for dark colors. If we’re talking about harder materials like nylon and polyester, plastisol inks are your best bet since they don’t penetrate the surface as much as other types of ink do. The professionals like t shirt printing Calgary know what kind of ink to use to create durable prints. 5. Caring For Your Apparel

  4. Caring for your apparel is essential to prolonging its life, and making sure it looks good for longer. You can help keep your print looking good by following these rules: Wash the garment in cold water. ● Don't use bleach on the garment. It will cause the print to fade. ● Hang it up to dry. Don't put it in a machine dryer unless you want to shrink it and damage the print. ● In general, don't iron over the print itself, but if you have no other option, turn your iron down to a medium setting and place a piece of cloth over the print as you iron over it (to absorb any heat). ● Don't dry clean your garment with screen-printed designs! Some solvents used in this process can damage the prints too! ● Final Words As an avid t-shirt collector, I've used various printing techniques on my wardrobe over the years. The most recent was embroidering some designs onto a plain white t-shirt,

But I soon realized that I could go even further with my print designs by using heat transfer vinyl (HTV), which allows me to transfer just about anything directly to the shirt. It's inexpensive and easy to use, and because it has a high tolerance for heat and friction, it won't crack or peel off your t-shirts like regular prints often do.
