When buying custom t-shirts, many buyers is not clear whether to have their shirts screen printed or digitally printed. Each printing methods produce different results on the shirt. This article will explain the advantages and disadvantages of each type of shirt printing, and hopefully help you decide which method is best for you and your customized t-shirt.
One major factor in determining the type of shirt printing to use is the number of shirts will be ordered. Digital printing, in general, is better suited to smaller orders, because there is no minimum amount – you have the option of ordering just one custom sublimation t-shirt. With screen printing, however, ordered a custom t-shirt is not unreasonable for.
There is a relatively high setup costs involved with print which went just as many shirts were booked. On the other hand, the cost of digital printed t-shirt is not reduced very much as the quantity of shirts ordered increases.
Another factor to consider is the color of the t-shirt. When buying a light colored t-shirts, such as white or natural colored t-shirt, both digital printing and screen printing are acceptable for your custom t-shirt. However, when ordering a darker colored shirts, such as blue or black, digital printing options eliminated. Inks used in digital printing just is not strong enough to penetrate through the dark color shirt.
Finally, the press itself must be considered. Digital printing produces very colorful prints that are not high resolution, but also left a t-shirt is very soft to the touch. Other color printing using digital printing will not increase the price of the shirt.
