Plastisol or water-based inks are applied to the shirt through mesh screens which limits the areas where ink is deposited. In most commercial T-shirt printing, the specific colors in the design are used. To achieve a wider color spectrum with a limited number of colors, process printing (using only cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink) or simulated process (using only white, black, red, green, blue, and gold ink) is effective. Process printing is best suited for light-colored shirts. The simulated process is best suited for dark colored shirts.
In 1959, the invention of plastisol provided an ink more durable and stretchable than water-based ink, allowing much more variety in T-shirt designs. Very few companies continue to use water-based inks on their shirts. The majority of companies that create shirts prefer plastisol due to the ability to print on varying colors without the need for color adjustment at the art level.
Specialty inks trend in and out of fashion and include shimmer, puff, discharge, and chino based inks. A metallic foil can be heat pressed and stamped onto any plastisol ink. When combined with shimmer ink, metallics give a mirror-like effect wherever the previously screened plastisol ink was applied. Specialty inks are more expensive to purchase as well as screen and tend to appear on garments in boutiques.
Other methods of decoration used on T-shirts include airbrush, applique, embroidery, impressing or embossing, and the ironing on of either flock lettering, heat transfers, or dye-sublimation transfers.

The Global Hypercolour brand of these was a common sight on the streets of the UK for a few years but has since mostly disappeared.

Warmth move vinyl (HTV)
Another type of Shirt enhancement in heat move vinyl, likewise called HTV. HTV is a polyurethane material that permits attire planners to make one of a kind layered structures utilizing a specific programming program. When the structure is made, it is then sliced through the material utilizing a vinyl shaper (or Cut n Press) machine.
There are many various hues accessible, just as sparkle, intelligent, and now even interesting examples, (for example, mermaid skin) which come in rolls and sheets.

HTV is normally smooth to the touch and doesn't feel rubbery or solid.
The edges are commonly spotless cut and produce high complexity.
Creators can likewise make various shading plans, or multi-layered structures utilizing HTV. This procedure would be done in the structured programming before the plan is sent to the shaper for the various materials A warm press is then used to apply weight and warmth to the vinyl so the material for all time holds fast to the article of clothing. The temperature and weight fluctuate as indicated by the maker's details.
Color sublimation printing
Color sublimation printing is a direct-to-article of clothing computerized printing innovation utilizing full shading fine art to move pictures to polyester and polymer-covered substrate-based Shirts. Color sublimation (likewise normally alluded to as all-over printing) came into broad use in the 21st century, empowering a few structures beforehand unimaginable. Printing with boundless hues utilizing enormous CMYK printers with extraordinary paper and ink is conceivable, not normal for screen printing which requires screens for each shade of the structure. All-over print Shirts have tackled the issue with shading blurring and the dynamic quality is higher than most standard printing techniques yet requires engineered textures for the ink to grab hold. The key element of color sublimated attire is that the structure isn't imprinted on the piece of clothing, however for all time colored into the strings of the shirt, guaranteeing that it will never fade.
Color sublimation is financially suitable for little amount printing; the unit cost is comparative for short or long creation runs. Screen printing has higher arrangement costs, requiring enormous numbers to be delivered to be financially savvy, and the unit cost is higher.[citation needed]
Strong ink is changed into a gas without going through a fluid stage (sublimation), utilizing warmth and weight. The plan is first created in a PC picture document arrangement, for example, jpg, gif, png, or some other. It is imprinted on a reason made PC printer (starting at 2016 most normally Epson or Ricoh brands) utilizing enormous warmth presses to disintegrate the ink legitimately into the texture.
