Digital Printing

When it entered the garment printing scene in the 90s, digital printing changed everything. Consumer adoption skyrocketed with digital printing's ability to put an unlimited number of colors on a garment. What's more, because garments are printed on one at a time, single t-shirt orders became an option--no more minimums. Digital printing can reproduce your logo or design more precisely than screen printing, and you're not obligated to meet a threshold per order.

Digital Printing Characteristics:

• No minimums: Perfect for orders ranging from 1-36 pieces.
• Durability: Not quite as durable as screen printing since the water-based ink used for digital printing will fade over time.
• Feel: Because the digital printing process applies colors in a single pass, the design area will feel light and flexible.
• Color/Appearance: Digital printing can accommodate unlimited colors, but not all colors may appear vibrant.
• Consistency: This process can result in a slight variation in color from print to print.
