When you're looking at options for printed t-shirts, chances are you've come across two popular methods: Direct to Garment (DTG) and screen printing. Each one works differently and comes with its own strengths, depending on what you need. Whether you're creating work uniforms, event gear, or something just for fun, the way you print your design can really shape the final look and feel.
DTG uses digital printers to shoot ink directly onto the fabric, much like a home printer. Screen printing, in comparison, applies stencils and layers of ink on top of the fabric for a distinct effect. Choosing the right print method often comes down to quantity, design style, and the finish you want. Let’s look at how these two techniques compare so you can decide what works best for your project.
