Are there any parts of the t-shirt that can't be printed on like the sleeves or the lower part of the t-shirts?
Almost all parts of a t-shirt can be printed on if the location is isolated and the size of the design fits in the isolated location. Where the problems arise is when the design is large and intended to be printed as a continuous design from another location. An example of this would be trying to print from the front of the shirt to the sleeve with one continuous design. This requires printing over a seam and the screens can stretch causing a less than uniform print throughout the run.
Another example would be trying to print from the neckline to the side of the t-shirts underneath the sleeve. A continuous design from the neck to under the sleeve isn’t possible because the t-shirt can’t fit on the platen across the whole print area. Individually each location can be printed on but a continuous design cannot make it from one to the other.
Another big request that we get fairly often is to print a continuous design from the front of the shirt to the back. Printing over the top seams would be a problem if the shirt could be positioned on the platen with the neckline on top. It cannot making this print not possible.
