There are four different methods used for printing t-shirts for wholesale orders: screen-printing, direct to garment (DTG Printing) print, Vinyl HTV transfer, and Direct to film printing (DTF Printing) Each of these different kind of digital T-shirt printing methods has its own distinct advantages, so when it comes time to picking the perfect one, there are several factors to take into consideration. The most important factor to think about is that the digitally printed T-shirts should look good, because customers want to be able to wear them. If the designs and colors are not vibrant, then the likelihood of the customer exchanging the T-shirts for another, or simply not wearing them, is very high. Therefore, when designing your digital T-shirts, make sure that the colors are attractive, and that the designs look good and fit well together. With DTF printing and using our commercial DTF printer we can ensure the best possible print for your t-shirts.

After considering all of these factors, you should also take a look at the cost of the digitally printed T-shirts that you plan on creating. Some printing methods, such as screen printing and direct transfer printing, are more affordable than others for large runs. For small runs and small orders, DTF Printing is much more cheaper options. Also with screen printing there are limits to the design and the number of colours. The cost of screen printing goes up as the number of colours increase. With DTF Printing this is not an issue at all and setup costs for DTF prints is much lower. You should also take a look at how easy the digital garment printing (DTF Printing) process is, and the ease of using the software that is used to create the designs, we at Flash Uniforms use the best RIP software for all our DTF Prints.
