Question
What's the best printing method for beginners learning how to sell custom t shirts?
Answer
For beginners, heat transfer and direct-to-garment (DTG) printing are the easiest ways to start, since both handle small quantities without expensive setup fees.
| Method | Best for |
|---|---|
| Heat transfer | Printing at home, crisp results with quality transfer film and a heat press |
| DTG | Outsourcing production, soft prints with fine detail, no film needed |
- Start with heat transfer if you want hands-on control and low startup cost
- Choose DTG if you would rather hand production to a print partner
Both let you test designs in small batches before committing to a bigger run.
