The Evolution of Custom T-Shirt Printing: From Screen Printing to Direct-to-Garment

Custom t-shirt printing has come a long way since its inception. Originally, screen printing was the go-to method, known for its durability and vibrant colors. However, it had limitations, such as the need for multiple screens for different colors, making it less efficient and more expensive for complex designs.

Enter direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, a game-changer in the industry. Unlike screen printing, DTG uses inkjet technology to print directly onto the fabric. This method allows for intricate, multi-colored designs without the hassle of creating separate screens. It's perfect for small runs and quick turnarounds, making it a favorite among small businesses and custom orders.

DTG also offers a softer feel, as the ink embeds into the fabric rather than sitting on top, providing a more comfortable wear. Moreover, it's more environmentally friendly, as it uses water-based inks and reduces waste.
