Screen Printing involves creating a stencil, known as a screen, and then using that screen to apply ink on the printing surface. Each individual color is applied using a different screen, one at a time, combined to achieve the final look. The more colors a design has, the more screens that are needed, and the more setup time required.

The ink we used for screen printing is plastisol based, which results in brighter colors - even on darker shirts. Screen printing is the best option for designs that require a high level of vibrancy, specialty products, or for quantities greater than 10 pieces. 

Direct to Garment Printing is a much newer process that involves your artwork being printed by a computer, and then printed directly onto the surface of your garment. DTG printing is not a transfer - the ink is directly adhered to the fabric of your shirt. The fact that the design is processed and printed digitally allows for a quantity of one, since there are no screens or physical setup. 

DTG printing is best used for items that require large amounts of detail and/or print colours and for orders of a smaller quantity. The fact that the DTG printer does not use screens allows for a print with much more detail than traditional screen printing. As the ink is applied thinner, DTG printing is best used on lighter coloured garments to allow the design to shine through.
