- Screen Printing

– Basically any type of fabrics can be used
– fast production
Cons:
– This method is for bulk orders only
– limited complexity of graphic
– Basically, no way for quick amends to the design
- Direct-to-garment printing
Pros:
– highly detailed and colorful designs can be printed
– perfect for small orders
– easy update or customization for graphic design
Cons:
– is not cost effective for bulk orders
– very limited design placement options
– time consuming method
Some technical facts about Screen printing
Screen printing involves using specially created one or several ‘screens’ (stencils). Screen printing is a literally handmade job: the ink is pulled by applying special blade layer by layer to the garment.
MUST-KNOW:
– One color = one screen
– more colors = more time for printing and ink drying
– the simpler design the less production time and cost
You can order custom t-shirts/custom hoodies/any others garments with screen printed graphic at Place4Print (check out website for latest promotions and rates).
Some technical facts about Direct-to-garment printing
As we described DTG technic earlier, this method is likely most common and popular way to print t-shirts with custom design. Basically, it is the same technic as ink printing on the paper. For DTG we used the special color inks produced for fast absorption by fabric and long-lasting usage.
MUST-KNOW:
– DTG allows to print using multiple colors with high precision, which means more detailed graphic (including photos)
– easy customization
– perfect solution for small projects
