There are many methods for applying images to hoodies. The most common silk screen printing method is there. The use of the t-shirts bedrucken is there also.
Silk screen printing
The most popular method of applying images to hoodies is there. First, a set of stencils (matrices) is made and then paint is applied through a stencil directly onto the fabric of a sweatshirt layer by layer, color by color.
The Right Choice
We often encounter the work of silk-screen printers, so we will give some tips from practice. The method is really cheap for runs of 200 pieces. The price of a print at a price may be around 80 rubles. However, note that almost always there is an item in the price lists of silk-screen printers (or they will be announced to you later): printing on sweatshirts + 30-50% of the above cost (this is due to the thick canvas and uneven fleecy surface on which paint does not fit well) . Also, you can’t immediately see that the manufacture of stencils (matrices) costs separate money, for example, 300-500 rubles. for every color.
- To print on sweatshirts using the silk screen printing method, you need to have the appropriate experience, because the material (footer) from which the sweatshirts are sewn is dense, fleecy and also elastic and stretches during the printing process. Not every printer can fulfill your order efficiently . Particular problems arise when printing images with several colors: after applying one layer of wet paint and drying before applying the next color, the material sits a little, which can cause difficulties when combining colors.
