Woodblock printing, which appeared in China before 220 AD, was the earliest known form of printing applied to paper. The movable type invented by Bi Sheng around 1040 AD and the printing press invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century are also later developments in printing technology.
Gutenberg was a German artisan and inventor and is best known for the Gutenberg press, his innovative printing press machine that used a movable form. It remained the standard up until the 20th century. Gutenberg made printing inexpensive.
A signature is usually simply the name of somebody written in a stylized fashion. That is not really necessary, however. It is considered a valid signature as long as it adequately records the intent of the parties involved in a contractual agreement. Usually, but not necessarily, a pen makes this mark.
Typically, color printing uses four-color inks: cyan , magenta , yellow, and black. The resulting "primary" mixtures are red, green , and blue when the CMY "secondary" is combined at full strength.
In printing, the most common way to achieve color is referred to as CMYK, four-color process, 4 / c process, or even just process. A file is separated into four different colors to reproduce a color image: Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y) and Black (K). The image of a color is separated into CMYK.
The format can easily handle high resolution photos thanks to PNGs' high color depth. Since it is a lossless web format, however, file sizes tend to get very big. For the screen, PNG graphics are optimized. You could definitely print a PNG, but with a JPEG (lossy) or a TIFF file, you'd be better off.
DTG Printing is also the best option if you are looking to print just a few (1-5) t-shirts, since it is as easy as loading a blank shirt into the DTG Printing machine and printing directly on it, while screen printing requires you to print your t-shirt through a multi-step, back-breaking process.
