Which lasts longer, screen print or DTG?

Plastisol screen prints last the longest — they can look almost new after 30 washes. DTG prints fade faster, usually showing noticeable change after 20-30 washes.

What is the best print for a graphic tee?

It depends on the artwork. Bold graphics with few colors work best in plastisol screen printing. Photographic or complex designs work best in DTG.

Why is screen printing more expensive?

Each color in the design needs its own screen, which has to be made and registered. For small runs, DTG is usually cheaper.

Is DTG print good quality?

Yes — modern DTG printing produces excellent results on 100% cotton. The print feels soft from day one, the colors are vibrant, and the detail level is higher than any screen-printing technique.
