The Difference between digital and screen printing

Many of our most popular products like feather flags and teardrop flags can be printed using screen printing and digital printing methods. Each method of printing has its advantages and disadvantages which our customers should understand and consider before placing orders. This will ensure that you receive a product that best matches your deadline, cost and design requirements.  

Screen Printing

Screen printing uses a stencil/screen to apply layers of ink on the surface. Each unique colour is applied one at a time, combining layers to achieve the final design. The areas of the print material that are covered with an impermeable substance will prevent the ink covering spaces that should be covered in that colour. 

Digital Printing

Digital printing, the more modern process of the two, using a computer to process the artwork in order to print the design directly onto the surface of the product. This is not done in layers like screen printing and also does not require covering of areas that should remain blank.
