Default digital vs screen

G'day,
We are just about ready to go to print for our sample range (we are going to professional printers, not doing it ourselves) and I just wanted to know if there was someone who could outline the difference between digital vs screenprinting. Is one better than the other in terms of longevity or are they just different? We really want to have the foil metallic print on some of our tees - can this only be done with screenprinting? Thanks guys xx

Yes, screenprinting.

It can also be done with a vinyl cutter, but it can't be done with digital printing.
