Printing Tips for Blank T-Shirts

Blank t-shirts are made to be transformed. Once you’ve picked out your tees, here are some handy printing and customization tips to ensure your project comes out perfect:

Pre-Treatment

Properly pre-treating your blank t-shirt helps ink adhere better and prevents fading. Use a pre-treatment solution for direct-to-garment (DTG) printing and let it dry before applying your design.

Layering

When using multiple colors or intricate designs, apply thin layers of ink to prevent smudging and ensure a crisp final print. Allow each layer to dry before adding the next.

Curing

To make your design long-lasting, cure the ink properly using a heat press or conveyor dryer. The right curing temperature and time vary depending on the ink type, so we recommend following manufacturer guidelines.

Customization Techniques for Your Blank T-Shirt

Screen Printing: Screen printing is a popular choice for bold, long-lasting designs. For the best results, use 100% cotton t-shirts (blanks) — cotton fabric absorbs the inks well and makes colors pop brilliantly​.

Heat Transfers & Vinyl: If you’re creating a one-off shirt or a small batch, heat transfer methods are super convenient. You can print your design onto iron-on transfer paper with a standard inkjet printer or cut out shapes/letters from heat transfer vinyl (HTV).

Pro Tip: When using transfers, a cotton or poly-cotton blend tee works great. Using a household iron or heat press, apply even heat and pressure to bond the design to the fabric. This method is perfect for DIY projects, and it works well for full-color images or photographs that might be tricky to screen print.

Dye Sublimation: Sublimation printing lets you infuse ink into the garment for a very soft, no-feel finish – but it only works on polyester or high-poly blend shirts. Sublimation ink is not visible on 100% cotton shirts. White or light-colored polyester tees yield the most accurate colors. This technique is ideal for creating vibrant, all-over designs on performance or sports shirts.

Embroidery: Looking for a polished, professional touch? Embroidery can elevate plain t-shirts with logos or artwork made of stitched thread. Whether you use a home embroidery machine or outsource to a professional, a well-embroidered design on a quality blank tee can look incredibly high-end.

Pro Tip: For the best embroidery results, use a thicker or tighter-knit cotton shirt (or blend) with an iron-on backing or stabilizer on the shirt's inside to prevent fabric stretching or puckering while you sew.
