Direct to garment printed tees


On the work table today are dozens and dozens of printed shirts. In this case the art was created in grayscale and printed on beautiful blue shirts.

Unlike screen printing, there is no rubbery feel to the printed image. The ink is sprayed on through inkjet technology, then heat-pressed to bond the ink to the fabric. The result is that when you rub your hand over the printed image, you feel nothing but shirt. And you can wash it repeatedly without worry about it racking or peeling.

When printing in black or dark grays, you can print on most colors and still show a sharp blended image. This is a very popular look today!
