Understanding ScreenPrinting and INK COLORS:
Screenprinting (silkscreen) offers SIMPLE 1-color prints up to 8-color designs. Screen printing is the reproduction of an image or text using plastic ink applied to a shirt through a mesh or silk screen. Screenprinting ink is a thicker ink which is applied directly on top of a shirt fabric. Screenprinting uses Pre-defined colors.

Screenprinting can be applied to almost any type of fabric including 100% cotton, cotton/polyester blends, mesh, microfiber or 100% polyester. When using screen printing, every color in your image needs its own "Color Screen". This screen controls the exact placement of just that color. Each color must be clearly defined.

Understanding DTG™ Printing and INK COLORS:
DTG™ (Direct-to-Garment) printing offers UNLIMITED COLORS using Precision Controlled Computer Equipment to apply High Quality Textile Pigment Ink directly to garments or fabrics. The method used by DTG™ to print colors, is referred to as four-color process printing because it uses four primary ink colors called CMYK.

DTG printing is for 100% cotton, 90/10 or 80/20 cotton/polyester fabrics ONLY! Print any Logo, Design, ClipArt, Artwork or Photos with all the colors and effects you want including Shade, shadow, outlines, halftones, fades and color gradients!

Digital printing offers extremely High Resolution printing at over 720 DPI especially if your artwork has fine lines, details and suttle color, shade or contrast variations.

The most accurate printing will result if your artwork, logos or images are designed using CMYK Pantone™ (PMS) PROCESS color palettes. Pantone™ CMYK process colors are created using INK versus generic RGB colors which are used for computer monitors and websites produced using LIGHT. Many popular graphic software programs including Adobe Photoshop™, Adobe Illustrator™, CorelDraw™, Corel Photo-Paint™ have Pantone™ Colors built-in, make sure you use the process color palettes!
