Full Color Direct-to-Garment Digital Printing Is Finally A Reality
We have been on the internet since the very beginning--almost ten years now. And though
I have always been convinced that both e-commerce and digital printing would offer us
major competitive advantages, obstacles such as high cost, low bandwidth, etc. has
postponed the full adoption of each.
Ten years later we have all seen the promise of e-commerce come true. And we are also seeing
digital printing technology making a big impact. CAD/CAM and new digital printers offer our
customers "Mass Personalized" products. While we have always produced quick response, short-run
personalized products, we can now offer custom designed tshirts, totes and banners in FULL COLOR
without restrictive minimum order or set-up restrictions.
Traditional t-shirt screen printing requires high set-up costs and often restrictive minimum
order requirements. Without getting too techinical, artwork has to be broken into separate
colors and printed on transparencies or veluums. These transparencies are then passed on to the
screen room for the screen burning process. Every color that is laid down on the t-shirt requires
a screen. The more colors, the more screens. The more screens, the more cost to set up the
order. That is why so many t-shirts are done in one or two-color prints.
Companies have tried to get around these restrictions by offering heat transfer t-shirts. Unfortunately
the quality of transfer printing is inferior to screenprinting. Finally though a new breakthrough has
arrived that will truly change the market.
We are one of the first companies to purchase a direct-to-garment digital printer offering
full-color, direct-to-garment printing. Our new printer offers customers vibrant FULL color designs
and photo prints never before offered--without minimum order or setup restrictions! And the system uses
water-based inks, a big plus for environment.
There are few artwork requirements. Since no screens need to be made and a press doesn't have to be
set up, pre-production proof approval is quick and more practical. Vector art, high resolution bitmap
images or even digital camera photos can be used for your custom designed tshirts. There's no concern
for spot vs. process color, as printing is done directly from the computer to the tshirt printer. You
can create your digital art tshirt files so they can be opened in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop,
or CorelDRAW.
The advantages to our customers are numerous. The biggest is that we can print high impactful full color
and photos on t-shirts, totes and banners without ANY minimum order or set-up costs. Think out of the box
and challenge yourself and your marketing department to come up with ideas about how to take advantage of
this new medium.
