I believe that before most people start their printing business, the first decision they made was choosing the method of printing. For different printing types, they use the different equipment, so this decision is very important.
There are various of printing methods, but the most common types are DTG (direct-to-garment), screen printing and sublimation printing. Today, we will help you distinguish the 3 printing methods, and hope it can be useful for you when you make the decision.
1. Introduction
Sublimation printing
This is the process of printing onto the sublimation transfer paper, and then transferring that image onto fabric. The ink is heated until it disintegrates into the corresponding fabric. That makes the ink long-lasting, and you’ll never have the unfortunate “peeling” effect of a well-worn t-shirt.
DTG (direct-to-garment)
DTG is pretty much like using a printer to print on fabric. Because it works like a printer, it can support the most detailed design, with as many colors as you want.
The printer can only print one garment at a time, which makes it perfect for printing one-off t-shirts.
Screen printing
This is the process of pulling a layer of ink over a screen to produce a design. A special screen has to be made for each design, which means that there should be many orders of the same design for it to be worth it.
2. How to Choose ?
The printing method you choose is usually depends on 2 factors: The images you are going to print and the quantity sold in one go.
If you’re planning on doing everything one-off and drop-shipped, and you can’t really plan the amount of sales you’re making, then chances are you’re better off using DTG (direct-to-garment). That makes sure that you’re not putting a whole lot of money into your venture off the bat, without knowing if it’ll sell. Usually beginner e-commerce merchants don’t have large and stable sales, so one-off, DTG printing is recommended. Or you’d better choose the sublimation printing or scree printing.
Your design is the most important element in deciding which printing method is for you. If your design involves many different colors, intricate details or photography images, then DTG will be your best shot. But you can also choose the sublimation printing.
Learn to choose the right printing method, and you will be easier to be succeed.
