T-shirt decoration
T-shirts with bold slogans were popular in the UK in the 1980sIn the 1960s, the Ringer T-shirt appeared and became a staple fashion for youth and rock-n-rollers. People also started to tie-dye and screen-print the basic T-shirt and variants such as the tank top, A-shirt (with the nickname "wife beater"), muscle shirt, scoop neck, V-neck etc. became popular.
Since then T-shirts have become a medium for self-expression and advertising, with any imaginable combination of words, art and even photographs on display.
Other methods of decoration used on T-shirts include airbrush, applique, embroidery, and the ironing on of either flock lettering, heat transfers, or Dye Sublimation transfers. Laser printers are capable of printing on plain paper using a special toner containing sublimation dyes which can then be permanently heat-transferred to T-shirts.
Sceenprinting is the most common way to print advertising t shirts. This is what most companys purchase.
