Brisbane Screen Printing and Digital Fabric Printing

What is the difference between digital fabric printing and screen printing in Brisbane? In other words, why would you prefer to use one method over the other and are they both the same thing really?

Screen printing in Brisbane

Screen printing is a much older method than digital fabric printing and gives the fabric a handmade appearance. This method of printing requires a number of stencils to be made, with a different stencil for each of the different colours in the design. The layers of ink are applied directly onto the fabric and the design is built up layer by layer.

This type of printing can be quite expensive because of all the stencils that need to be made and the length of time it takes to print the fabric (each layer of ink must be completely dry before the next can be applied). Screen printing is actually better than digital printing on dark coloured fabrics because the ink is more thickly applied and so shows up a lot better than if you used digital printing on a dark fabric.

Digital fabric printing on the other hand, is much faster and cheaper process than screen printing in Brisbane, because the design can be applied directly onto the fabric, without spending time making numerous stencils. With this type of printing you can use large complex and very intricate designs with lots of different colours, whereas with screen printing you are limited to just a handful of colours and much simpler designs.

Digital printing also gives you photographic quality images that are highly detailed, because it doesn’t require stencils and uses thinner ink. This makes this type of printing highly suitable for company logos that are very detailed or have lots of different colours.

So there is a huge difference between digital printing and screen printing, but whichever method you chose, remember that digital printing works best on light materials and screen printing works best on darker coloured fabrics.
