***Default Printing Options for Clothing***
Some items of clothes allow you a PRINTING OPTION.

DIRECT PRINTING or HEAT TRANSFER

DIRECT PRINTING
With Direct Printing, we print direct-to-fabric with no transfers. The result is a matte image that moves with the garment because the ink is actually embedded in the fabric for ultimate wearable comfort. After a few washes, you will notice the great durability of Direct Printing. That means greater image staying power.

The benefits of Direct Printing
Great washability - no fading
No feel of ink on the fabric (the ink is in the fabric)
No cracking
No transfer lines

Things to keep in mind with Direct Printing
Colors are not as vibrant as Heat Transfer

HEAT TRANSFER
Heat Transfer is as durable as screen-printing, but offers more detail. Heat Transfer uses heat to create a bond between the resin and the T-Shirt, locking the ink between the two layers. Heat Transfer has a slight plastic feel when first worn, however, this feel will diminish after washing.

The benefits of Heat Transfer
Vibrant colors - great for photos and detailed imagery
Good washability, fading happens over the first few washes

Things to keep in mind with Heat Transfer
May crack on ribbed garments
Has a slightly stiffer feel
Transfer outline may be visible with some designs
May yellow over time
