Aloha! Newbie here who is completely lost in translation regarding process and pricing of DTG versus Screen Print.
My story: I produced a children's video. To expand (and to brand), I have decided to add infant tees and onesies to my product line.
My thoughts: To purchase blanks use a local printer. I'm thinking white, brown, and pink color tees/onesies.
My dilemma: My wonderful and most talented graphic designer has once again went above and beyond with his designs (the characters of the video) and created some wonderful designs. The two designs are 6-8 colors each. I would love to start small, let's say 25-50 of each design in 2-3 sizes and possibly color (ideally).
My questions: I've been scouring these posts, reading up on which would be the most cost effective way of having a well made quality tee. It seems to be DTG; however, let's say the tees take of, and I get into larger quantities.
Would it be weird to print via DTG, then change to Screen to accommodate the larger quantities?
Should I just go with Screen and stick with it no matter if I'm starting with smaller amounts?
I asked my artist to design around the number of colors (limit 3 or 4) to stick within budget. Am I shooting myself in the foot?
Sorry for the long post...just overwhelmed.
Thanks in advance for your help!
