Default Suggestions for printing this design

Hello,
I have made this design for my new line of t-shirts. However, I would like to know what is the best option for printing it in a blue t-shirt (background)
Screen printing seems to provide the best results but separating each color would make it very expensive.
What other methods would you reccomend?

Thank you

DTG, it stands for Direct to Garment. I dont know much about it because I only screen print and dont have a DTG machine but search the forums if you are interested. There's so much info posted about DTG and other ways of printing. I like your design by the way

Just a 4 color print so should not be that expensive unless you are looking at doing a few shirts.

Here I got a little pros and cons bettween DTG and screenprinting.Direct to Garment: it is easy to print. and great for small orders, easily customize different shirts. But it only works well on white shirts. There is more of a challenge for dark prints.While screenprinting is expensive if there is many colour to be printed.
But the quality is excellent.

It would look good on a black shirt. Remove the light blue background and make the letters white. Light blue background too hard on the eyes. Then use dark transfer paper for the girl (maybe even the lettering) and heat transfer vinyl for the lettering.
