\n

At Publink we print custom T-shirts from a single unit, choosing the technique to match your design: DTF for full colour and short runs, sublimation for sports polyester, screen printing for large runs and embroidery for a premium finish. Send us your design<\/a> or create one online, and collect it in Mog\u00e1n<\/a> or have it delivered to any island.<\/p>\n

Which technique to choose for your design<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

DTF (Direct to Film)<\/h3>\n

The most versatile technique: full colour, works for T-shirts one at a time, and works on almost any fabric and colour, including black.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sublimation<\/h3>\n

Only on light-coloured polyester; the colour becomes part of the fibre, ideal for technical T-shirts and edge-to-edge kits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Screen Printing<\/h3>\n

More cost-effective the larger the run, with solid colours that hold up well to repeated washing; usual minimum from 25 units.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Embroidery<\/h3>\n

For small logos with a premium finish: polo shirts, caps and corporate clothing, with raised texture and hard-wearing thread.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Fabrics available<\/h2>\n

How to personalise your T-shirt<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Choose the garment:<\/strong> T-shirt, polo shirt, sweatshirt<\/a> or tank top, in dozens of styles and colours.<\/li>\n
  2. Send us your design:<\/strong> in PNG, PDF or AI. If you don’t have a design, our team can create one<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. We choose the technique:<\/strong> DTF, sublimation, screen printing or embroidery, depending on your design and quantity.<\/li>\n
  4. We produce it:<\/strong> collect from our workshop in Mog\u00e1n or we’ll deliver it; the timeframe is confirmed with the quote.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n

    Which technique is best for a single T-shirt?<\/h3>\n

    DTF: there’s no per-unit setup cost and it works in full colour on almost any fabric, so it’s the usual choice for orders of 1 unit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Can you print on dark T-shirts?<\/h3>\n

    Yes. DTF and screen printing can be used on any fabric colour, including black or navy, without the background colour distorting the design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    What if I have a logo with few colours for lots of T-shirts?<\/h3>\n

    For large runs with few colours, screen printing tends to be the most cost-effective technique, with very solid colours; we’ll advise you based on your exact design and quantity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
