POPULAR WAYS TO PRINT CUSTOM SWEATSHIRTS
2

• There are effortless ways to print custom
  apparel. A customized sweatshirt can be printed
  in different ways and across multiple areas. 
• So, before ordering custom printed t-shirts
  online, we need to select the right method of
  printing.

3

• The 2 most popular printing methods are
• Screen Printing
• Digital Printing

4

• Screen Printing
• Fabric is printed with the use of mesh that
  transfers the ink on to a substrate.
• Then with block stencils, ink gets transferred
  only through impermeable areas of the screen.

5

• Benefits of Screen Printing
• High Quality Designs get excellent finishing and
  printed areas stand out exceptionally from the
  rest of the apparel.
• Durable Screen-printed custom sweatshirts can
  last for years. Their printed areas stay intact
  even after multiple washing.
• Economical Due to the requirement of less
  affordable resources and relatively inexpensive
  materials its cost is significantly cheaper.
• Versatile One can print sleeves, wrists,
  shoulders, chest, back and every other part of
  your sweatshirt. The technique can also print
  complex designs across a wide range of colours.

6

• Limitations of Screen Printing
• Primitive printing technique.
• High initial setup cost.
• Takes more time to print.
• Limited colour ranges available.
• Ink is not infused into the fabric and is layered
  above it.

7

• Digital Printing
• An advanced printing technique used to directly
  print digital-based images onto the media
  substrates.
•  In this method, dry-toner based printers are
  used.
• These printers map the minuscule ink droplets
  while the toner heats up a fine plastic powder to
  melt the ink and transfer it to the substrate.

8

• Benefits of Digital Printing
• Simple Process The process involves lesser
  steps, compared to screen printing, requiring the
  least amount of manual intervention.
• High Added Value UV inkjet printers provide a
  glossy finish on standard colour prints. Embossed
  effects and textured prints are great add-ons.
• Full-Colour Ranges Infinite design possibilities
  are available as digital printing offers a vast
  colour range without any gradation print
  limitations.
• Quick Delivery Digital printing is done without
  using plates, which results in rapid delivery.

9

• Limitations of Digital Printing
• Range of printable fabrics is limited.
• Prints are less durable.
• White colours are reproduced within the print.
• Fixed pricing makes bulk printing costly.
