Will digital fabric printing destroy my T-shirt?

In Brisbane, screen printing is not as popular as it once was and has been overtaken by the convenience of digital fabric printing. This is a very cost effective method of printing t-shirts, particularly for small orders or just for one or two t-shirts, and has led to an increase in the number of people purchasing transfers for their t-shirts.

Digital fabric printing is popular with individuals, clubs and small businesses, which in itself, means that this process does not harm or destroy your t-shirt.

What is the digital fabric printing process?

The first step is to email your design to us at Everything Vibrant (a JPRG file is good). Once we have your design, we will upload it to our PC and then create a transfer of the design.

Most individuals who want t-shirt transfers have their own designs, including most small businesses who use their logo and company message. Clubs quite often want t-shirts for sports teams and need numbers and lettering on their t-shirts, rather than a colourful design.

So all we do is create a transfer of your design. Once we have completed this step, we can either mail these transfers to you or complete the process, by printing the transfers onto t-shirts for you. If you prefer however, you can just purchase the transfers and complete the printing process yourself, but then you must have an appropriate printer that can deal with the heat created in the digital fabric printing process.

Most probably, the reason why some people think that digital fabric printing damages their t-shirt is because in the early days, you could only use this process on 100% cotton material or cotton/poly mixes that were heavy on the cotton. This was due to the heat created in the printing process, which would harm synthetic materials and silks.

With the increase in technology however, this is no longer a problem and now we can create transfers and print them onto nylon, lycra, silk, linen, polyester, neoprene and cotton. So don’t worry that this process might harm your t-shirts, because it is completely safe and is much more cost effective than screen printing in Brisbane, especially for small orders and complex designs.

T Shirt Printing in Brisbane – Why is it So Popular?

If you are looking for t-shirt printing in Brisbane then you might want to check out Everything Vibrant on Parramatta Rd at Underwood.  They have been in the t-shirt printing business for many years and have built a strong following and a very good reputation in the community.

One of their most popular lines are their transfers and stickers which they can create from your customised design, as well as deliver them to you anywhere in Australia. All you have to do is email your design to them and your specifications and they will create the transfers and stickers for you in just a few days.

Why are transfers and stickers so popular?

The main reason that transfers and stickers are so popular is that they are used as promotional material for businesses. As you know, promoting your business can be a very costly endeavour, but it is also vital to the success of your business. So if you can find a way to promote your business that is cost effective and actually increases your bottom line, then it is definitely worth the investment.

This is why t shirt printing in Brisbane has increased over the past few years, because it is an easy way to promote your business, not only to your target audience, but also to their friends and acquaintances as well. That’s because when someone wears a t-shirt printed with your logo and advertising message, every person they come in contact with will notice your message.

Even better, if they like your t-shirt and design they will keep wearing it and expose your advertising messages to more and more people. Stickers are also a great way to advertise your business, because they can be attached to cars and vans and as with transfers, expose your message to lots of people - increasing the awareness of your brand in the local community.

So if you are in business and you ae looking for a cost effective strategy to include in your next advertising campaign, then it is certainly worthwhile considering t shirt printing in Brisbane, as well as transfers and stickers. You might be happily surprised at the return on your investment.

How Digital Fabric Printing can help your business

At Everything Vibrant, we have a lot of businesses that make regular orders for their promotional gifts with us, because they know that we are experts in digital fabric printing.

You might not know, but digital fabric printing is very popular in Brisbane. Screen printing, on the other hand is not as popular, because it is not so fast, cannot take highly complex designs and can end up costing you more money, particularly for smaller orders.

For businesses that understand the value of promotional campaigns, the fact that digital fabric printing is so quick, when compared to screen printing, is an important factor in their choice of printing services. There are however, other reasons why this type of printing can help your business.

How digital fabric printing can help your business

With digital printing, a transfer of your design is created on a computer, which is then applied to the fabric, for example a t-shirt, using a special printer. This is so much better than printing your designs directly onto the fabric, because a lot of heat is used to attach the design directly onto the fabric.

If you print directly onto fabric, you can only use certain types of material that can withstand the heat involved in the printing process. Creating a transfer of the design however, means that you can chose any material you want, which makes digital fabric printing much more flexible and cost effective than techniques that print directly onto fabric (because you can buy cheaper t-shirts).

You can also use any type of design, even if it is highly complex and has lots of dynamic colours – because computer printing can quite easily cope with these designs. That means that you can incorporate your logo and slogan into any design quite easily, without having to worry about how it will translate to fabric.

Overall, digital fabric printing gives you added flexibility and helps you to keep the costs down in Brisbane. Screen printing would cost you more money in the end and you might have to change your logo to accommodate this printing technique.
