Digital printing for burnouts

969 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  Wndrboy,

I've started a small design company and I am seeking advice on the best printing for burnout t-shirts.

I'm looking for a faded or "vintage" look and feel to match the fabric of my burnout shirts. Will digital do this?

Would it be wise for me to invest in a digital printing machine or should I stick with traditional water based screen printers?

Any feedback on this subject would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks

DTG machines only print on cotton, and since a burn out burns out the cotton in the fabric to create the burnout look, digital printing will not work. You need screen printing.
