QUALITY PRINTING & EFFORTS
Pictonico T-shirts are printed by using a new technology called “Direct to Garment Printing (DTG printing)”. This is a special way of printing T-shirts also getting popular among apparel brands. Pigment inks are sprayed onto the textile directly, and absorbed by the fibers which gives the surface a natural and soft feeling.
Furthermore, we select and use premium T-shirts in order to get beautiful printing results.
We also cooperates with clothing factory which was established around 100 years ago based in Kojima (Okayama pref.). Kojima is known as the ‘Mecca for Denims’ since the first Japanese jeans were made in this city. The photograph is printed onto T-shirts very carefully by the hands of skilled artisans using latest printing machines.
Pictonico t-shirts are short sleeve shirts in slim fit with thin ribs, cuffs and sides designed to fit perfectly along the body line. They feel so smooth and comfortable, lightweight (4.3 ounces / 145g) and 100% cotton using combed yarns.
You would notice how beautiful the photography is printed once you wear it.
COMBED YARNS
Combed yarns are threads without short fibers, and weaving only with long fibers makes the material smoother and stronger.
Plus long fibers prevent t-shirts from getting fuzzy and causing pilling.
Materials are uniform so it gives t-shirts sheen and luxury feeling which you can’t get from t-shirts using carded yarns.
The same photo gives different impressions depending on how the photography is framed. And the printing process is a very important procedure for photographers because it reflects the quality of the work.
Pictonico makes tremendous efforts to adjust the photo datas to match beautifully with the fabric color, and we share every process with the manufacturer to bring out the best printing results to make perfectly beautiful products.
Lastly, the photographer’s signature is stamped on the neck part of the T-shirt. This is our aim to show that Photography T-shirt is also a piece of art produced by photographers.
