With screenprinting, the more colors you use in your design the more it costs since you need a screen for each color in the design. Because of these expensive and time consuming set up costs, you simply could not afford to have just one t-shirt screenprinted. Today, there are other ways to produce full color t-shirts without screenprinting. And you can do a full color shirt one at a time with no expensive screen or set up charges. The following methods are an alternative to expensive screenprinting.
Sublimation is a state of the art transfer process.
It produces a photo quality, full color image which is heat transferred onto a special White Hanes Soft Link t-shirt. The shirt is a nice heavy weight very similar to the Hanes Beefy T. Sublimation only works on white shirts. Since the ink actually penetrates and dyes the fabric you cannot feel the image on the shirt after transfer. It is extremely color fast and fades very little. If you want the best, sublimation is the way to go.
