Step 1 Choose the right T-shirt

But other materials such as linen and silk can also be chosen according to personal preference. Once, a fashionista chose a linen T-shirt. After being processed by white ink bronzing with a DTF printer, it presents a unique natural texture.
- Color: T-shirts in white or light colors can better highlight the effect of white ink bronzing. However, dark-colored T-shirts can also achieve wonderful effects through special treatment methods. For example, for a black T-shirt, first apply a white base on the pattern part, and then perform white ink bronzing printing. The final effect is equally stunning.
