Two Process of Printing T-shirts

Screen-printing

Screen-printing involves producing a screen for each color that appears in the graphic and pressing ink with these colors through the screen onto the t-shirt, one screen after another. The result is bright and long-lasting colors on the t-shirt which can be felt as a layer of ink. With this method, small details and color gradients aren't reproduced well, and your graphic should be divided into layers, each color into a separate layer.

Digital Printing

Digital printing is the latest innovation in t-shirt printing. Graphics with complex color schemes and intricate details can be reproduced at little cost, except that digital printing is not very good at handling bright colors. It isn't recommended to print digitally on dark t-shirts.
