Starting a T-shirt business is exciting… right up until you realize there are five popular ways to print shirts and everyone online swears theirs is “the best.”                                                                                             The truth is: the “perfect” printer depends on what you want to sell, who you’re selling to, how much you want to learn, and how much time you want to spend maintaining equipment.

This guide breaks down the most common decoration methods—White Toner, DTF, Sublimation, HTV, and Screen Printing—so you can pick the best match for your goals. And if you want the most flexible, beginner-friendly option that can grow with you, you’ll see why white toner transfer printers are often the smartest first investment.

While traditional DTF printers are the hottest trend in the short run garment decoration space, White Toner Printers (sometimes called WT printers) can be considered a form of DTF and are now being called the best “DTF Alternative” for startups and small businesses. 

To keep up with this rapid market growth and ensure unprecedented success in the DTF apparel decoration printing industry, UNINET has launched its new UNINET DTF™ Printing division, providing cutting-edge on-demand DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing solutions, including printers, consumables/supplies, software, and film transfer paper, delivering a total end-to-end complete functional solution to start or expand any garment business

UniNet recently unveiled its iColor^® 1-Step Speed Trans Light Transfer Media paper. This is by far, the lowest cost and easiest to use, all-in-one media paper to transfer on light and medium colored garments and textiles. Now you can produce quality images while dramatically reducing your production time.

• No adhesive pressing step
• No weeding necessary
• Print and press directly to your garment in 10 seconds!
