T-SHIRT AND GARMENT PRINTING OPTIONS
Whatever your artwork, garments type, material or desired result, we have all the best possible garment and t-shirt printing solutions here at 3rd Rail. We don’t expect you to know what print type will best serve your needs as we are more than happy to guide you in the right direction, but if you want to know a little more here is some information about the different garment printing options available.
SCREEN PRINTING
Screen printing for t-shirt printing offers vibrant, durable, and customized designs. It’s cost-effective for bulk orders, provides versatility in materials and colors, and ensures consistency, making it an ideal choice for personalized, long-lasting apparel.
SCREEN PRINTING
This is the process of printing designs onto special transfer paper and then applying the transfer paper onto the t-shirt or garment using a commercial heat press. It enables full-colour images to be printed very quickly and is a great option for promotional clothing. The downside to this process is that it’s often not as wash resistant as the other three. For more info on this process have a look at our heat transfer page.
DTG PRINTING (DIGITAL)
Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing for t-shirt customization offers vibrant, detailed, and full-color prints. It’s perfect for small batches and intricate designs, with minimal setup costs. DTG is an eco-friendly choice, as it uses water-based inks, making it a versatile and sustainable option for custom apparel.

SPECIALITY SCREEN PRINTING INK TYPES
FOIL PRINTING
We supply and print a number of different coloured foils for application onto almost any garment. The print process involves us screen printing a glue and then, once the it has cured we heat press the foil of your choice in place.
FLOURESCENT INK
The pigment in fluorescent ink works by absorbing UV energy and transmitting it as longer waves. The inks can be fairly transparent so almost always require either a base or double hit but the final outcome is striking, particularly on dark garments.
CRACKING INK
This ink is perfect for giving your t-shirts an instant vintage look. A self crack base is applied before the top coat is printed. The heavier the ink application the larger the cracks will appear.
FLOCK PRINTING
Not so much an ink as a transfer flock is a way of adding a soft velour like texture to a design. The process works by first screen printing an adhesive base before applying small synthetic or natural fibres and heat pressing to seal.
METALLIC INK
These inks are made up of a mixture of pigment and a liquid resin. The pigments have to be ground so that they are fine enough to pass through the mesh of a screen which makes them less brilliant than foiling however the results are longer lasting
REFLECTIVE INK
Made up of a lycra binder mixed with light reflecting glass beads this ink works really well both as a decorative tool and to increase night time visibility. Really comes to life in front of direct light so the light bounces back.
PUFF INK
Chemically designed to puff up when cured these inks become raised when they reach the correct temperature. This process works really well with large and bold designs but also as a final accent colour in a multi layer print.
GLOW IN THE DARK INK
Photo luminescent inks owe their magic to phosphors – a chemical that absorbs energy and re-emits it as visible light.
Glow in the dark inks can be produced in a variety of colours but the human eye is most sensitive to green light so this will appear brightest.
