Do You Know the Process of T-shirt All-over Printing?
When we walk on the street, especially in the summer, we can see many people wear the beautiful all-over printing t-shirt. Do you know how to make such a t-shirt with sublimation printing technology?
All-over printing is stretching decorated apparel boundaries to new potential. I refer to prints that fall on the front, back, sides or sleeves without covering the garment as spot-printed sublimation. Here are the steps:
1. Design the image in advance in the computer
Before printing, you should measure the garment, and design the image in advance in the computer. If you want to have a mass production, measure a garment from every size in the job, smallest to largest, and create a template for each. Then you can save a lot of sublimation ink, and you can also save a lot of time.
2. Print the image to the sublimation paper
The second step is print the image to the sublimation paper with your large format inkjet printer. In this step, you should know a software called RIP (raster image processing), this software is basically a print driver on steroids. The image is loaded into the RIP software and printed on the heat-transfer paper, which is then cut from the printer and taken to the heat-transfer work station.
3. Prepping the garment
Flatten the t-shirt as much as possible in
an effort to minimize creasing. The small areas under the sleeves where they connect to the rest of the body of the shirt usually present the biggest problem because they tend to wrinkle when pressed flat. A wrinkle in the garment prevents the ink from sublimating under that spot. This is a limitation of the process that should always be explained to the customer by showing them a physical example of an all-over printed garment. Sometimes this is not acceptable to the client, but more often than not they can live with it.

4. Press the garment
Once the garment is prepared, the heat press is lowered and allowed to dwell anywhere from 30 seconds to one minute, depending mostly on fabric content.
After the 4 steps, an all-over printing t-shirt can be finished. But please remember make a sample text before mass production, and make sure the size, the ink load, and the temperature are appropriate.
And another thing is that if you want to make the all-over printing t-shirt, you’d better choose the polyester, sublimation transfer paper and the polyester are usually the best partner, can can give you a good result.
