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.
