Note: This list is incomplete, you can help the forums by contributing to it!

The above threads are not necessarily definitive - the current "printing over seams" thread is more of a placeholder for example, I'm sure there are other great threads on the topic. So if you have better threads that answer the above questions, feel free to post those too.

We want a few of the best threads on each topic, so when better examples are found we can replace the weaker ones with those.

First of all, I'm sorry if i was wrong.

I've been looking around in this forum, but I can't find comparison between DTG Printing and Screen Printing (including quality, price, etc.)

It would be very appreciated if someone can share this information to all of us.

FYI, I am newbie in T-Shirt Printing, but I am very interested to begin this business, so I really need information, advise, and opinion about this matter from all of you.

Thank You.

Did you try a forum search at the box at the top of the page? If you type in the keywords DTG versus screen printing you'll find lots of comparisons.
