What're The Differences Between Sublimation Printing And Screen Printing?

sublimation transfer printing

When it comes to creating your custom T-shirts, there are terms such as “screen printing” and “digital printing” commonly used, and in digital printing, sublimation printing is more popular. 


Which printing technology is better? The real answer is that there is not a more superior choice between the two types of printing processes. What it boils down to is understanding your needs and figuring out which method will work better for the design, color and fabric material of the shirts you want to print. Here's a quick look at the differences between the two printing methods so that you can decide for yourself which type of printing you should go for.


Screen printing highly benefits from economies of scale, so the more T-shirts you print, the lesser the cost for the screen printing service. It is, therefore, more recommended for slightly bigger orders (often more than 10 T-shirts). Also, if you are having a simple design such as a logo or wordings, usually screen printing is the better choice

However, Dye-sublimation print on polyester material does not affect the hand of the material and is more desirable than screen printing for home furnishing and wallpaper fabrics and the apparel industry. The colors are very vibrant, do not wash out and the process is less messy than screen printing, which requires messy solvents and dyes.

Sublimation is also very popular with sportswear manufacturers as many printed uniforms (cycle wear, soccer, basketball, and lacrosse) on the market today are done via sublimation. Unlike screen printing, where the ink lays on top of the garment, the sublimation process produces permanent images that will not crack or fade. Also, sublimation infuses the image into the thread of the fabric so that it does not affect the breathability of the garment. Most athletes prefer sublimated jerseys versus screen printing jerseys. Screen printing leaves a layer on top of the garment, which affects breathability and the comfort of the athlete. 

So whatever sublimation printing or screen printing technology have their advantages and disadvantages. Regardless of which type you choose, we at Entripy.com will be happy to help you customize your T-shirts with your preferred printing method!
