SCREEN PRINTING VS DIGITAL PRINTING
posted in by bradpengelly
Let us start by saying that both printing processes are commonly used for printing custom designed t-shirts and hoodies. Most of the time, there is not always a better option but rather the process is chosen that suits the needs of the customer and will work best with the fabric, colour and design they choose to have printed.
Screen Printing
Screen printing involves creating a stencil (printers call this a "screen"), and then using that stencil to apply layers of ink on the printing surface. Each color is applied using a different stencil, one at a time, combined to achieve the final look.
Digital Printing
Digital printing is a much newer process that involves your artwork being processed by a computer, and then printed directly onto the surface of your product. Digital printing is not a heat transfer or appliqué’s, as the ink is directly adhered to the fabric of your shirt.
When it comes to a single custom t-shirt design order or low quantity order, Budget Custom T-shirts mainly use digitally printed t-shirt method. This is because most custom t shirt designs require high amounts of detail.
If you are after a large order, Budget Screen Printing is the way to go. For all of your printing to really shine through we recommend ordering your design on a lighter coloured t shirt.
