WHAT IS DTG?
DTG PRINTING - FOR SMALL ORDERS
Instead of using screens to apply the ink to the garment, DTG printing actually uses something like an inkjet printer to print the ink directly onto the fabric. This method is able to take very intricate, detailed designs and a great multitude of colors and apply them with relative ease!
However, because of the time required to print each design, this method is not as cost effective for larger batches, but instead is more economical for smaller batches.
Pros:
-
Better option for small runs
-
Able to print detailed designs
-
Extensive color options
-
Easily customized designs
Cons:
-
Not cost effective for larger batches
-
Limited design placement
WHAT IS SCREEN PRINTING?
SCREEN PRINTING - FOR LARGE ORDERS
Screen printing is widely considered the most popular method of printing. Why? Because it’s very cost effective for printing large batches of apparel, with limited print colors. Because a special screen must be made for each design, there needs to be a large number of orders for this method to be financially feasible.
Pros:
-
Cost effective for large batches
-
The more product ordered, the cheaper they are
-
Ideal choice for simple designs with less colors
Cons:
-
Limited number of colors and less cost effective the more colors used
Which print option is best for you?
-
Think about your design... Are there fine details and many colors you want to incorporate?
-
Is it a simple design with only a few colors?
-
What color is your shirt? DTG is more cost effective on light colored tees.
-
The DTG printing process is much more labor intensive compared to screen printing. DTG is machine-dependent and averages just 30 – 60 garments per hour, while screen printing can average 1,000 garments and upwards per hour.
