Looking for someone to print some branded Tshirts and hoodies, but critically they need to be able to print in very specific colours. The few suppliers I've found so far only have a handful of standard colours. Any recommendations? Cheers! Bob

A lot of t-shirt 'printers' are actually applying a vinyl and will be limited to the colours that is supplied in (or if the specific colour you want is available, but unusual, you might have to buy the whole roll). Someone screen-printing shirts the old fashioned way would be able to buy/mix a specific colour more readily but I'd expect you'd need a reasonably sizeable order to make that economical as theres more involved in set-up so its more of a medium-volume process.

You maybe also need to look for someone offering 'Direct to Garment' Printing - this is more like your inkjet printer at home - but printing directly onto the shirt. That should make specific colours more readily achievable

I've used Streetshirts and Teemill a few times to make DTG garments - but make sure you use a white underlay to the print if you want accurate colour reproduction - inks are quite 'thin' and colours change on dark garments. Teemill are better quality but more expensive.
