The printed t-shirt is so much a part of modern life that most people don’t stop to consider its history.

The garment itself was originally intended to be a man’s undergarment, to be worn under his military uniform or suit.

More and more consumers are opting for products that are less harmful to, even beneficial for our natural world than ever before. In many cases, this choice comes at a higher ticket price. It is no surprise that more and more businesses are evaluating their processes and products to meet this demand.

As the seasons change, so do people's fashion needs and desires.  Spring 2012 sees some new directions in clothing trends, especially in the areas of screen printed apparel and all-over prints.  People in fashion-forward industries can use these trends to inform color choices, fit and graphics for their latest designs.

No matter if you are a small business that needs five uniforms a year or a huge promotional company that needs thousands of garments printed every month, its to your advantage to use a full service screen printer. Apparel decoration is a customization business and every project has a set of unique variables. At the very least, working with a printer that has the capability to fulfill all aspects of the decorated apparel business guarantees that you can rest assured that your printers will be able to properly react to unforeseen issues.

At the recent Long Beach ISS show there was a noticeable emphasis on dye sublimation printing. It is quickly becoming the favorite way to achieve all-over prints on t-shirts - even if you only want a few.

Without screen printing, we couldn’t do what we do here at Sharprint. There are lots of ways to produce an image on a shirt. There are digital options, there is a long history of using relief printing, I’ve even seen etchings printed on a shirt and of course I guess we could sit around painting on them, but nothing is more versatile, efficient or effective as the screen print.
