DIGITAL PRINTING
Much like an office printer, except instead of printing onto paper it prints directly onto fabric withΒ waterbased ink. There is no limit on the amount of colors you can use and it does not have the set-up costs associated with screenprinting (therefore it can be cost effective for small batches).
Digital printing is great for:
+ Photos or high detail designs
+ Graphics with lots of colors
+ Small quantities or custom orders
