It is an irresistible trend that internet and machine is replacing laboring manual work, digital printing and screen printing are also facing the revolution of technology. If you are a total layout man and don’t know how to choose the right printing method for your items like advertising flags, don’t worry, I will tell you their differences, so you can have a preliminary knowledge of that.
Screen printing features high adaptability to materials, it is universal to any kind of fabrics, bottles, mugs and vinyl, and even on curved surface. Besides, it is also suitable for any kind of inks and has a great penetration during printing, which is not available with our digital printing. For these two strengths, it seems that screen printing won’t die in short time and can still hold its place in market for years. Screen printing is now adopted only for large orders of our flags and banners, cause the cost for template making is high.
However, our digital printing completely wins in printing speed and substantially enhances efficiency, for today, the pace of every thing goes faster and faster, time is money. Moreover, digital printing also stands out for non-pollution. Then, how do we choose printing method? Ink in digital printing is applied thinner than screen printing, so it is best for items that require complicated details while items need higher level of vibrancy screen printing maybe is better. The minimum order quantity of screen printing is because of the cost and labor of stencil making. So, if you have orders of a large quantity and special fabric and curved shapes, screen printing is your best option.
All in all, with a higher efficiency, digital printing is now widely employed in factories. But does that mean screen printing will be washed out? Not necessary. Screen printing is retreating or will retreat to a back seat, and play its role as a supplementary printing method to digital printing which will dominate the market in near future.
