A guide to t-shirt printing techniques
Your design deserves the right printing technique to truly shine. Each method offers specific benefits for colour vibrancy, texture, and durability, no matter the size of your order.
Direct-to-garment (DTG)
DTG uses inkjet technology to print your design directly onto the t-shirt’s fibres. This method is ideal for detailed, multi-colour designs on both light and dark cotton fabrics.
Dye sublimation
Also known as all-over-print (AOP), sublimation uses heat to infuse ink directly into the fabric. It delivers incredibly vibrant, fade-resistant results that are perfect for high-resolution, full-coverage designs.
Embroidery
Custom embroidery is a premium option that adds a professional, textured look to your logos and text. It’s durable and works best on thicker garments for a classic, high-end feel.
Direct-to-film (DTF)
DTF printing involves printing your design onto a special film, which is then heat-pressed onto the garment. It’s excellent for creating bold, bright designs on a wide variety of fabrics.

I don’t have to invest the money I can’t lose into my business. With Printify, I only pay the fulfillment fees, and the rest is all profit.

Afro Unicorn
I really appreciate working with Printify on my brand. Afro Unicorn was only supposed to be my design on a white shirt. It is so much more. Printify allows me the time to run the business and not work in the business.
