Did you know there are many ways to determine whether or not a printed t-shirt is of good quality? So, here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it. You'll need to check the following:
• The durability
• Colours of good quality
• Image quality and sharpness
• The completed garment's breathability
• Considerations for cleaning and caring

The durability
A variety of factors contribute to the long-term durability of a printed t-shirt. These factors include the t-structure, shirt's fabric consistency, and print and element durability. We all want custom t-shirts that look nice.

Colours of good quality
The colour of the t-shirt is the first thing that people remember. How do you know if the colour is good or if it will fade after a few washes, though? Here are a few things to keep an eye out for:
•Check to see whether the colour is spread uniformly throughout the t-shirt. By contrasting the sleeves and the main body, the colour uniformity can be determined. You won't note a difference between the tones if it's a good one.
•Examine the print and colour saturation visually to ensure that they are as vivid as they should be.
•Feel the prints and touch the colours. They should not be scratchy or rough. Instead, you should be able to feel a seamless print transfer.

Image quality and sharpness
In this step, you'll examine how the images are put together as well as how the prints are constructed in terms of sharpness and image resolution. Often check the inside and outside of the t-shirt in this situation. Don't be fooled by what you see on the outside; the inside must fit the outside in order to avoid purchasing a low-quality printed t-shirt. You may also check the clarity and sharpness of each printed image, as well as make sure that each seam and hem is properly created.
Other ways to check for quality printed t-shirts include looking at the garment's breathability and transpiration. The fabric of the t-shirt will decide this, as each fabric has a different effect on the garment's breathability.

Which are the best T shirt printing technologies?
Vinyl Print
Single-color text, clear logos, and numbers are ideal for vinyl printing. It works by slicing a pattern onto a single-color sheet of vinyl with a printer. The vinyl design is then heat sealed onto the clothing with a heat press, resulting in a bright, bold finish that will stand out.
• It's ideal for small to medium-sized batches.
• Produces a vibrant result

Screen Print
The application of colour with ink directly through a screen onto transfer paper is known as screen printing. The template on the transfer paper is then cured before being heat transferred to the garment. This process is ideal for printing large quantities of complex designs.
• It's suitable for medium to large quantities.
• Produces a lustrous, sharp finish.
• Achieves long-term, enduring results

Direct to Garment (DTG) Print
DTG printing is the most recent addition to the t-shirt printing industry. It works similarly to an advanced inkjet printer, printing the template directly onto the garment at high speeds and with excellent consistency. DTG printing is a great way to print big, complex designs with full colour images.
• It's ideal for small to medium-sized batches.
• It is possible to print on both light and dark coloured garments.

Sublimation Print
• Printing on polyester garments with sublimation transfer printing is a great idea.
• It's ideal for small to medium-sized batches.
• Wear it to the gym or for sports.
• Only white or light-colour garments can be printed on.
