Direct-to-Garment Printing of T-Shirts Has Many Advantages
- When printing less than 200 shirts per day
- When printing any number of shirts that vary
- When printing a four-color process design (photographic) shirt
- When the design requires more than 5 color layers or “screens”
- When printing short-runs or single-shirt orders
- When an extremely photographic or complex hi-resolution shirt design is required
Traditional Screen Printing of T-Shirts is Still Important
- When printing over 200 shirts of the same design
- When a brand or spot color needs to be exact
- When using custom or specialty inks such as glow-in-the-dark or metallics, etc.
- When the absolute lowest cost-per-shirt is required
