Why Personalized T Shirts With Photos Should Be Printed With Direct To Garment Printers

Today we’re going to talk about why personalized T-shirts with photos should be printed with direct to garment printers.

When it comes to Personalized T Shirts With Photos, things get technical. Let’s get a little technical here, when you to print a photo you’re not going to be able to do it with multiple PMS colors or single colors. You will have to do it with something called 4 color process, cyan, yellow, magenta and black. To do a good photo print via screen printinging  you’re going to need a separation artist. A good separation artist, that’s going to be able to separate your photo into those four colors that we talked about. Cyan, yellow, magenta, and black.

Each one, when laid on top of each other with a specific dot structure, will produce a final photo finish. That’s really hard to do, just so you know. Like even though you are able to separate it, you’re never going to get perfect. You’re going to miss details. So that’s the number one reason you actually want to do all of your photo printing on a direct to garment printer. Because the direct to garment printer will give you the details in the image.

No artwork separation is needed. And all the colors are being mixed on the fly and you get a beautiful beautiful print. The second reason, if you do go the screen printing route outside of the separation artist, you’re going to need a screen printer. An actual person who is very gifted at the art of screen printing. Screen printing is an art. It’s a trade. It’s something that you devote your life to. You devote yourself to to become extremely, extremely good at it.

DTG is the way to go

Therefore, if you do want to go the screen printing route and you don’t want to go the direct to garment route, just remember this. You better ask how much experience that screen printer has and who’s actually running the machine. With direct to garment? Is pretty easy. Yo, hit print on the printer and it prints it for you. But remember, with screen printing you get four colors that you try to top on top of one another and make sure they align right and they’re on registration and they look good.

And the final reason we think you should get personalized T-shirts with the photos done with director Garment is director garments fast. Usually the thing that slows us down in our direct garment shop is how busy we are and how many projects there are before you. So if we can squeeze in and get into a direct to garment shop when they’re slow, or there’s a lull in between orders. Director garments is fast. It’s really, really fast.
