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 detail and colors.

This approach offers the most efficient and affordable solution for producing complex, detailed designs at scale.

How Does Digital Screen Printing Work?

Digital screen printing begins with a base layer of water-based white ink applied using a screen as the base layer, followed by a digital printer that lays down the full-color design directly on top

This allows for super detailed designs—think gradients, full-color images, and anything a regular screen print would struggle with.

Pro Tip

Comparing Digital Screen Printing to DTG/DTF

When comparing digital printing to other methods, the choice largely depends on your project's needs. Digital screen printing excels in high-color-count, photo-realistic designs and is most efficient when producing 50 or more items. As order size increases, unit pricing drops significantly at key breakpoints like 75, 100, 250, 500, and 1,000. Compared to DTG and DTF, digital screen printing can offer double the savings in bulk

How Do I Prepare My Artwork For Digital Screen Printing?

It’s important to prepare your artwork file in CMYK format.

CMYK artwork is essential for digital screen printing, as the process relies on the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) color model to reproduce full-color designs accurately.

Providing your artwork in CMYK ensures it’s optimized for digital printing, allowing the machine to interpret colors precisely and deliver the closest possible match to your original design
