Custom T-Shirt Printing in Berlin

In this process, the ink is applied through a silk screen on the textile. As it is liquid, it can penetrate well onto the textile surface. Under this process a separate screen is required for each color printing. For example, three screens must be set up for a 3-color print. For dark textiles, a white negative background must be printed additionally, so that the colors look bright. T-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts… made from blended fabric or cotton can be well screen printed. Garments with lining or fleece fabric are not recommended to be screen printed.

The minimum quantity for each design in single color screen printing is 50 pieces and for two or more colors of motif, the minimum quantity would be 100 pieces.

As the size of our printing pallet is 40cm (W) x 55cm (L), the maximum possible screenprinting is 36cm (W) x 45cm (H). We do not offer all-over printing.

The possible line thickness for screen printing depends on the type of textile you are printing on. Much finer lines can be printed on smooth fabrics compaired to coarse polo shirt. A line thickness of 1mm can be printed on almost all the materials. Lines with a width of 0.4mm can also be printed on smooth, high-quality T-shirt fabric. Even if sometimes the thinner lines are possible, a line thickness of at least 0.9mm is recommended.

Here the motif is reversed printed on a carrier sheet. After each color, the sheet is run through the intermediate drying and when all the colors are printed, the printed surface is provided with an adhesive. If you have the logo to be printed, for example, 20 times on each sheet, the carrier film can then be cut, so you can apply the logos individually with the hot press on the textile. An advantage with Transfer screen printing is that you can mix the desired color exactly.

Most of the printing of sports jerseys is done using this technique. A big advantage of flock print is, it makes it easier to print individual pieces. Under this process, flex or flock film is cut out in the desired motifs using a plotter. The cut artwork is applied to the shirt with a hot press. In 90% of cases, this process produces monochrome prints. Only in exceptional cases two or more colored prints are made.

Using this technique, the multicolored motif is printed on a film.  Once the ink is dired, it is transfered on to the transperent carrier sheet. This film is then applied to the textile with a hot press. The colors are mixed as in a conventional inkjet printer from the colors cyan, magenta, yellow, black. Thus, if not all, then the representation of almost all shades possible. The digital transfer printing is the right printing technique, if the image does’nt have a irregular path or hazy effect around. If the quantity is not too large, and the motif is multicolored, this printing method is advisable.

Direct To Film, DTF as it is more commonly known, is a relatively new printing process. Using this printing method, we bring more flexibility and options to customise your smaller quantity requirements. Here we first print the design onto the film, add the adhesive powder, run it through a heat channel and then print it onto the garment. This helps us to print complex, multi colored designs in different sizes right from one garment onwards.

Sublimation printing is „in trend“ as a method for printing multi colour high-quality images onto a range of fabrics and other objects, as the print output shows no resolution-loss when compared to the original image.
This printing method has its best effect on polyester apparel in white or light colors or hard surfaces with a poly-coating, such as coasters, mugs, mouse pads and more.
The sublimation printing needs sublimation papers to transfer the design on to the fabric, resulting in the image becoming a permanent part of the fabric. With the sublimation process, the ink becomes part of the fabric rather than a layer on top of it. The resulting transfer lasts much longer than heat transfer.
