Does anyone know of any online T-shirt design programs other than RSK Tech and Pikiware? Im having a hard time finding one that is suitable for both Screen Printing and DTG Printing. I know it's almost impossible to have all the features I want unless I'm willing to pay a web designer 15K+. Any ideas?
Thanks for the links! The only concern I had about the two print methods is charging the right amount with an online store through a T-shirt designer. Especially since they are both such diferent print methods. I think the best thing to do is have it where customers can design it through an online T-shirt designer, submit it, then we send them an estimate and payment link according to what they want.
Why not try purchasing two licenses, and having one dedicated for DTG and another for Screenprinting. I know RSK tech can handle that. They can even put limits such as spot colors only and other screenprinting limitations.

Thanks for the info. Yeah I thought of that but didn't think it was very practical. Though it may just be the smartest thing to do.

I think that defeats the whole advantage of having an online design tool. You have the customer right there where you want him. He has designed his masterpiece and is excited about his shirt. Get his money then.
Most consumers don't know dtg from silkscreen. Your decision to use dtg or silkscreen should depend on your ideal printing situation. An order of 1 multi-color item would be dtg. An order of 24 one color may be silkscreen or dtg depending on which method is less expensive for you to fulfill. An order of 100 may be a silkscreen job for you.
To have separate designers for separate processes is a popular choice. There are pros and cons about both options.
I can see why some might feel that they shouldn't ask the customer if they want DTG or Screen, but that's not necessarily the way the question has to be framed. For instance Custom Ink asks the user if they're designing singles or for groups.
The benefit of having separate designers is also that you can stuff you DTG designer with beautiful multi-color and photographic artwork, whereas the screen print one is using single or two-color artwork. At the end of the day, if you set it up the right way, it just nudges your customer in the right direction, the same way as you would do personally if the customer was in your shop.
However, with that being said, it can be completely workable to set up a designer that combines DTG, screen print and embroidery.
I have a question regarding Deconetworks /pikiware. I read the 27 pages of comments here , but was wondering meanwhile what the situation is actually .
Does the new version works ? Are de bugs solved? If i understand good, this software gave the best possibilities actually available on market also for affiliate possibilities.
