When discussing bespoke t-shirt printing, lingo is frequently used. The distinctions between the various terminologies and how we choose which one to use are discussed in this article.

Screen Printing

A well-established and popular technique for personalized printing is screen printing. On a shirt, ink is applied by pushing it through a stencil made of woven mesh. The creation of the stencil is the process’ most expensive step, but if you’re purchasing a lot of shirts with the same design, this approach is the most economical. Additionally, your design will cost less overall if it uses fewer colors. This process is often used for orders including seven or more shirts.

Digital Printing

Digital printing has been used as a new technique in custom printing. The printers used for digital printing are substantially bigger and more complex than computer printers. To make the shirt look more integrated, the ink is pushed into it. In contrast to screen printing, the quantity of colors in your design has no bearing on the cost of digital printing. If you decide to print digitally, pick “Full Color.” This method is typically used for modest orders or orders with multiple-color pictures or photographs.

Four-Color Process

The four-color process is a type of screen printing that combines black, cyan, magenta, and yellow to create almost any color. This creates a result that resembles a full-color image. This option costs $100 for setup and is only available for light-colored shirts (preferably white).

Our goal is to select a solution that will keep your cost as low as feasible.
