When it comes to customizing shirts, there are multiple printing methods to choose from, including screen printing, heat transfer, and embroidery. Digital printing—also known as direct-to-garment (DTG) printing—has become a popular choice for its precision, versatility, and efficiency. At KDI Print & Embroidery, we offer high-quality digital printing to ensure your designs come to life with stunning detail. Contact us to learn more.
The Advantages of Digital Printing on Shirts vs. Other Methods
High-Quality, Full-Color Designs
Digital printing excels at producing detailed, multi-color designs with smooth gradients and intricate details. Unlike screen printing, which requires separate screens for each color, DTG printing applies ink directly to the fabric, allowing for vibrant, full-color images without extra setup costs. This makes it ideal for designs with complex artwork or photorealistic elements.
No Minimum Order Requirements
Unlike traditional screen printing, which often requires large orders due to the time-intensive setup, digital printing allows us to print single shirts or small batches with ease. Whether you need a one-of-a-kind design or a small run for an event, DTG printing provides a cost-effective solution without sacrificing quality.
Soft, Breathable Prints
Some printing methods, like heat transfers and vinyl, create a thick layer on top of the fabric that can feel stiff and heavy. Digital printing, on the other hand, uses water-based inks that absorb into the fabric, resulting in a soft, lightweight feel. This ensures maximum comfort without compromising durability.
Faster Turnaround Times
Because digital printing eliminates the need for screens, films, or extensive setup, it allows for quicker production times. This means we can complete orders faster, making it a great option for last-minute events, promotions, or limited-edition designs.
Digital printing offers a high-quality, cost-effective, and efficient way to customize shirts, especially for detailed designs and smaller orders. At KDI Print & Embroidery, we specialize in delivering top-tier DTG prints that look great and feel even better. Whether you need a single shirt or a full order, we’re here to help!
