Which print methods can be discussed before sampling?
Screen print, puff print, DTG and heat-transfer directions can be reviewed based on fabric, artwork and desired handfeel.

Plan print method, artwork placement, scale and sample review for men's T-shirts, hoodies and streetwear orders.
Manufacturing brief
Printing work depends on artwork file quality, fabric surface, print method and placement. Jiashun helps buyers review print direction during sampling so screen print, puff print, DTG or heat-transfer graphics can move into bulk production with clearer approval standards.
Production checks
Check artwork file format, print size, placement and colour direction before sample.
Match print method to fabric surface, garment type and buyer expectation.
Review sample print edge, handfeel, puff height or heat-transfer finish before approval.
Sequence printing with washes deliberately — printing before or after a garment wash changes the final look.
Decision guide
| Method | Best for | Hand-feel | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen print | Bold graphics, 1-6 colours | Sits on the surface; soft with water-based inks | Per-colour setup favours volume |
| Puff print | Raised logos and lettering | Dimensional, thick | Simple shapes read best |
| DTG | Photo-real art, high colour counts | Softest — ink sits in the fabric | Prefers 100% cotton |
| Heat transfer | Small hits, names and numbers | Slightly plasticized | Sharp edges; handles gradients |

Vector files are preferred when available. High-resolution artwork, placement mockups and reference photos also help Jiashun quote and sample faster.
Screen print for bold flat graphics — its per-colour setup pays off at production volumes. DTG for photo-real artwork or high colour counts on cotton. We recommend a method with the quote and explain why, so you can push back.
Yes, when sequenced and tested — washed-down prints are a deliberate look, and the sample proves the result before bulk. Tell us if the artwork must stay crisp; that changes ink and sequence choices.
