Information overload? Let’s summarize the three banner printing techniques in the following scheme.
SCREEN PRINTING

DIGITAL PRINTING

FLEX PRINTING
What? The design is cut from a colored foil and then pressed onto the T-shirt under high heat.
Colors: restricted, depends on the colors of the foil.
From 25 pieces

Special decoration techniques:

SO, WHAT DO I CHOOSE?
Actually, we can’t say you have to choose for screen printing or digital printing. We surely advise you not to choose for flex printing. Really, don’t do it. Every technique is good, the choice depends on what you are looking for. Digital printing is advised if you want to print photographs, or if your design has more than 12 colors. For higher quantities, and for a maximum of 12 colors, you can go for screen printing.
