In screen printing we can print logos, patterns and letters but not photos with landscapes or faces with details.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>Are you planning to make your own t-shirts for your business or for an event? In this case, you should know all about the different printing methods that exist.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>In this guide, we will cover the most common types of printing.

This method uses a heat press to transfer an image or design to the fabric.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here the design is printed on a special PET (polyethylene tetraphthalate) film and then transferred to the fabric using an adhesive powder and heat.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>It is
