Zeros and ones in colour
There is a huge amount of digitally-originated methods of decoration. All have something to
offer but if you use the wrong one for your job you will get a disappointing result,
which is the main reason people think they're a poor relation to a screen print.
They're not. They're just different.
Below is a precis of methods.

Digital
Printer/cutter
Printable or coloured vinyl material used for producing transfers which, with the correct vinyl choice and transfer method, can adhere to any material. Very hard wearing and washable at high temperature in the case of coloured vinyls and great for badges and polyester garments such as football strips, work wear, jackets, etc. |
Direct to garment
Inkjet that prints directly onto the garment, giving the appearance of a screen print with minimal feel. Good for short runs of multicolour and photorealistic designs. |
Direct to film DTF
Reversed image inkjet transfer printed onto carrier film with adhesive powder applied, transfers onto many materials, no weeding required so excellent for text, fine lines, etc. The biggest step forward in garment decoration. |
Sublimation
Ink system that works by changing the colour of polyester/polyester coated materials. Popular for mugs and other ceramics. Almost anything can be sublimated if it has a polyester coating applied. |
