- Design stage
- High-resolution images
Ensure that the graphic materials for the design have a high resolution. Generally speaking, the image resolution should be at least 300dpi (dots per inch). For example, if you are going to print a complex landscape pattern, a high resolution can make details in the pattern, such as the veins of leaves and the textures of rocks, clearly presented. Low-resolution images may have problems like blurring and jagged edges after printing, which will affect the vividness. - Bright color combinations
Choose a color scheme with bright and high-contrast colors. For instance, when designing a T-shirt pattern with a cartoon character, you can use bright primary colors, like a red hat, blue clothes, and yellow accessories. Strong color contrast can catch the eye and make the pattern more vivid. Avoid using overly dull or similar colors, as this will make the pattern look plain. - Adding details and textures
Add details to the pattern. For example, add some fine lines to the fur part of an animal pattern to show the texture of the fur, or add some brick textures to the walls of a building pattern. These details can make the pattern look more realistic and vivid. For example, when printing a retro-style T-shirt pattern, adding some distressed textures to the old poster pattern can enhance the retro atmosphere of the pattern.

- Film production stage
- High-quality film materials
Select high-quality film. Premium film has better color reproduction and transparency. For example, some professional-grade films can present the colors in the design more accurately, making the red more vivid and the blue more pure. Moreover, high-quality film is less likely to deform or fade during the printing process, which helps maintain the vividness of the pattern. - Precise film production techniques
Ensure the precision of the film production process. When making the film, the lines of the pattern should be clear and the color distribution should be even. This requires advanced film production equipment and strict production procedures. For example, using high-precision laser plate-making technology to make the film can make the edges of the pattern sharper, and small pattern elements can be accurately presented, thus enhancing the vividness of the printed pattern.

- Printing stage
- Suitable ink
Choose high-quality, brightly colored ink. Some inks have special gloss effects, such as fluorescent ink and metallic ink. Using fluorescent ink can make the pattern glow in the dark. For example, printing a T-shirt with fluorescent star patterns will look very vivid at night or under ultraviolet light. Metallic ink can give the pattern a metallic texture. For instance, printing an anime character pattern with metallic armor will make the character look cooler. - Optimizing printing parameters
Adjust the parameters of the printing machine, such as printing pressure, speed, and temperature. Appropriate printing pressure can ensure that the ink is fully transferred to the T-shirt fabric, making the pattern colors full. Printing too fast may cause the ink not to be fully transferred, affecting the quality of the pattern; while printing too slowly will reduce production efficiency. As for temperature, some inks can dry and adhere better within a specific temperature range, making the pattern more vivid and long-lasting. For example, precisely controlling the temperature during the heat transfer process can make the pattern firmly adhere to the T-shirt and the colors more vivid. - Pre-treatment of T-shirt fabric
Pre-treat the T-shirt fabric. For example, wash the fabric to remove impurities and sizing on the surface, making the fabric surface flatter and more absorbent. In this way, during printing, the ink can penetrate and adhere better, the color of the pattern will be more even, and thus the vividness of the pattern will be improved. In addition, some fabrics can be given special coating treatments to enhance the adhesion of the ink and the color expression.
