DTG Printing VS Screen Printing (Which one is better?)

[@CharleyPangus]

Enjoyed this video? Watch another video on the "Up Next" section to your right to help my channel out. Love you guys!

[@juannamillion1489]

Also depends on which dtg machine your using.

[@aaronporter484]

Hey Charley, we print DTG and also use Bella Canvas blanks and I have to say the screen grab you showed was a poor representation of what DTG can do.

[@CharleyPangus]

I’ve been using a lot of DTG for my merch and I have to say I definitely notice screen printing is higher quality. It’s very minor differences at times so I’m definitely not against DTG or anything.

[@aaronporter484]

Charley Pangus they both have strengths and weaknesses, but you are correct that Bella Canvas has a great product and the blank definitely matters.

[@CalvinKemppel]

where do you do DTG for you shirts?

[@aaronporter484]

Calvin Kemppel reblr.com we have a shop.

[@ginabalbas5550]

I would much rather have our do screen printing. Hands down! Print lasts longer. Great video! Thanks!

[@CharleyPangus]

Exactly! No thank you so much for watching my video!

[@organdonor1962]

fantastic Bella Canvas add!!

[@fuqifiknow1122]

Hey, Charley! I actually work at a garment printing shop in Gilbert, AZ that specializes in the DTG process. The image that you screencapped has been misprinted. You can see it in the feet of the L and the S, they're doubled. It also looks like there's a lot of overspray, which is why it looks so blurry. That means that the platten was set too low during printing. DTG should look like it came off an inkjet printer. If properly printed, it actually has a much higher resolution result with better image quality than screenprinting. Just wanted to clarify. Thank you!

[@peterbryant19]

I agree Matt, I'm very familiar with both DTG and screen printing. The print samples he shows are both awful!

[@naturalhealthrevolution1518]

Wouldnt the DTG printer you use make a difference in the quality

[@HarshKumar-kp9zd]

A good fabric + screen printing = brand new clothing startup.

[@sitiimanina]

Really?

[@MrPelafio]

What about the smell of vinegar the pretreatment of DTG usually leaves on a shirt?

[@HrvojeLivnjak]

screen printing all the way :) . like you said, Charley, it lasts longer and the quality is much better. the only thing that I talked with the printers they say that up to a 50-100 is cheaper to use DTG and from 100 to more screen prints. That's why all of these POD sites usually have crappy prints or they are washed out pretty quickly and it sucks :/

[@CharleyPangus]

Nicely said!

[@javanisehaynes9587]

Thanks for uploading! I been watching all of your videos! Keep it up!

[@platinumpodcast3101]

hey Charley what's the best blend for a shirt so they don't shrink when washing them?

[@fuqifiknow1122]

Hey, Goodvibe! If you want to ensure a shirt doesn't shrink then polyester/cotton is your best friend! Get as close to a 50/50 blend as possible and that will definitely help prevent shrinkage and loss of shape!

[@platinumpodcast3101]

Matt White thanks 🙏

[@jasonenz4238]

Love B+C. I'm a screen printer and you definitely get a better print on better shirts...it IS what it IS !!! 😉

[@Burakiosaurus]

Jason Enz Hey there, I’m about to do some prints on the B&C 3001 shirt in their Heather Colours. Would you recommend screen printing on these and to use Water colour screen printing? I’ll only be doing left chest logos that are maximum 10x5 cm but want the best possible quality. These are the details of the 3001 shirts below, and Ath. Heather will be one of the colours I use, so just want to get a professional opinion on if this will be the best method for the shirt. Thank you for any input you may give! Heather CVC/Blend Colors: 52% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 48% poly (Ath. Heather - 90% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 10% poly)

[@jasonenz4238]

Burak Sezgin - hey Burak! How did you plan to cure the ink? Poly gasses out its dye at around 300°...causes dye migration (the dye in the shirt will gas into the ink and tint the ink). Water base will air dry but without a dryer it'll take days to fully dry. Have you screen printed before? ~Jason Enz @ENZPRINTCO

[@Burakiosaurus]

Hey Jason, total newbie to screen printing and am based in London, UK, so have been sourcing a few suppliers and getting quotes. The ink will be black onto an athletic heather tee; black and red onto a white tee then black, brown and green onto a white tee. Any tips for speaking to the printers I'm in contact with re: the ink the use etc...? It's ok it it takes days to dry fully should they not have a dryer, as long as the product looks good quality at the end!

[@E.Pluribus.Unum.]

2:00 for subject matter

[@nylotus]

Thank you!

[@stantan6130]

Great explanation! Will the printing method affect the colour accuracy of the print?

[@spacerockshop]

I knew that from own research but you finally free me from my worries! Thanks charley :)

[@sunnydp2966]

Does all the info still applies in 2020? In 2020 which one wins. Dtg or screen printing?

[@kylechicoine7982]

Hey Charley! I recently came across your channel and have enjoyed a lot of the videos. Keep it up man!

[@CharleyPangus]

Thank you :]

[@CalvinKemppel]

Hey Charley! my designs have multiple colors/shades so screen printing probably wont be the best option for me. But should i use DTG method or Plastisol heat transfers for more complex colors? And if so is there a good print shop that offers those methods and uses bella canvas? thanks! really appreciate all your help

[@davidspyres]

Charley ... you mentioned you use DTG on your site. If you don't mind me asking what machine/setup do you use?

[@missfanceenancee106]

Can we print on polyester and how many washes until it fades ?😊

[@maxgobbell3294]

Not super helpful, excessive advertising

[@nylotus]

One second you say there's not much of a difference in print quality and then the next sentence is how much of a difference there is. Which is it lol

[@CharleyPangus]

There is and there isn't.. it's complicated lol

[@ImportRace]

Good info

[@CharleyPangus]

Thanks I tried! 😀

[@Bmxsessions]

I got a shirt done in DRY,just recently,it sucked but that's because I think it was a crappy printer😣

[@sonnygrey5434]

Screen printing. @sgprinting1 on IG. I love making shirts

[@saeedjrvlogs4097]

Can i use your designs to print on my shirts i wanna open a clothing line I have sent dm to you on instagram caot_sanusi. Thank you

[@fuqifiknow1122]

That's not really how the clothing line game works. If you want to start a successful line, you're going to want to either design your stuff yourself or develop a brand identity and core message and then bring a designer on who believes in that and make them your partner. Either way, you want original designs that are wholely unique to your clothing line.

[@CharleyPangus]

You can't use mine but you can find a designer to make you some artwork! Goodluck :]
