What is Digital Screen Printing?

Digital screen printing is a hybrid screen printing technology that combines traditional screen printing and digital printing into one process.

It integrates the high production speed of screen printing for the white under base with the full-color capabilities of digital printing for the colors.

Plus, we send a sample before production, so your custom digital screen printing order is guaranteed to be accurate.

How Does It Work?

Digital screen printing is a hybrid printing method that combines traditional screen printing and digital printing technology. The process starts with a screen printed water-based white ink base layer and then a digital printing machine prints all the colors.

This combination allows for highly detailed prints making it ideal for designs with gradients, photographic elements, and complex color blends that traditional screen printing struggles to achieve.

Unlike traditional screen printing which requires a separate screen for each color, digital screen printing uses just one process, so it makes printing efficient and cost-effective for many types of projects.

Pro Tip

Comparing Digital Printing to Traditional Screen Printing

When comparing digital printing to traditional screen printing, the choice largely depends on your project's needs. Digital printing excels in producing intricate designs, gradients, and photo-realistic artwork. Plus, it’s cost-effective for low quantities with that style of artwork. On the other hand, traditional screen printing is best for vector based, spot-color & simulated process artwork and offers techniques that digital can't. 

For example, if you'd like puff screen printing or jumbo screen printing then traditional screen printing is for you. Learn about the differences between each screen print technique in the chart below.

Professional Advice

Why CMYK Artwork Is Best for Digital Screen Printing

CMYK artwork is essential for digital screen printing because this process relies on the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) color model to reproduce full-color designs. Unlike traditional screen printing, which uses spot colors, digital screen printing blends these four primary colors in layers to create a wide spectrum of shades, gradients, and photo-realistic details.

By providing artwork in CMYK, you ensure that your design is optimized for the digital printing process, allowing the machine to accurately interpret the colors and achieve the closest match to your original design. RGB artwork, on the other hand, is designed for screen displays and doesn’t always translate perfectly to print, often resulting in color discrepancies. Supplying CMYK artwork helps ensure your final product is vibrant, detailed, and true to your vision.

How durable are prints from digital screen printing?

Prints from digital screen printing are very durable as they are cured in a gas conveyor dryer for over 2 minutes 30 seconds and have identical washability to a traditional screen print that is properly cured.

What kind of ink does digital screen printing use?

It uses specially formulated digital inks that are designed to be compatible with the water based screen printing under base. We have tested hundreds of combinations and deliver the best durability and color vibrancy.

What are the limitations of digital screen printing?

A limitation of digital screen printing is that it can not Pantone color match. A plastisol spot color can be placed on the machine to overcome this limitation.

Are there times I shouldn't use this process?

If your artwork is a simple 1-4 color vector design, we recommend using traditional screen printing for your order. 

What are your maximum print dimensions?

We can digitally print your artwork as large as 14" wide x 17" tall.

If you'd like to go up to 17" wide by 23" tall then our jumbo screen printing service is for you.

Who manufacturers the machine?

The company that makes the machine is called M&R and the specific model we have is the DS-4000™ Digital Squeegee® Hybrid Printing System.

It's paired with our Gauntlett III Automatic Screen Printing Press.
