1. What is the Difference Between Screen Printing and DTG?

a. Screen Printing – Best for Bulk Orders

Screen printing is a traditional, cost-effective method that uses stencils and ink layers to apply designs to shirts. Best for large orders and simple designs.

b. Direct-to-Garment (DTG) – Best for Small Orders & Full-Color Designs

DTG printing uses high-tech inkjet printers to apply detailed, full-color designs directly onto fabric. Best for complex graphics and smaller orders.

c. Key Cost & Time Differences
