DIRECT TO GARMENT VS SCREEN PRINTING

The two most popular fabric printing methods are screen printing and Direct to Garment (DTG) printing. 

Screen printing involves pushing the ink onto the fabric using a stencil.

Direct to Garment printing (DTG) is a method that applies ink directly to the material using a printer.

Things to consider about each method.

DTG 

 -  Creates less saturated colors.

 -  Able to product high level of detail with many colors.

 -  Less labor intensive 

 -  Great for smaller production runs

Screen Printing

 -  Creates rich saturated colors.

 -  Best used for bold graphics with fewer colors.

 -  More labor intensive

 -  Cost savings as production runs get larger.
