Default Need choosing a Printing Type

I'm new to this game so I really need someone else to answer this for me. I have a tshirt design that takes up most of the front of a tee from the chest all the way down to the bottom of the tee. It has over ten colors on it. I to print it to last. Any suggestions?

Yea...screen printing, or plasticol transfers will last longer than the t-shirt. 10 colors is going to be expensive though.

with 10 colors you are most likely going to want to CMYK it.

Otherwise, you'll want to get a full-size transfer paper made for your design to be applied via heat press. They can be made up to 11x17 I believe, perhaps even larger.
