DIRECT TO GARMENT VS SCREEN PRINTING
Share
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.

Screen Printing
- Creates rich saturated colors.
