We are so used to designing for screen print now, solid images two and three colour, it seems so ingrained in our way of approaching T shirt graphics, a very effective visual language has been developed by designers which is partly built on a practical basis, more colour, complex separations=longer set up times=more expense etc. But within these basic designs the language is clear, quick to understand esthetically pleasing. So what changes will direct to garment printing have on design, how much will it change what we wear? Will the flat colour graphics on Royzys bling trainers be replaced with photographic or half toned digitally printed images? Or a combination of both, maybe a little screened gold ink for good measure, or will DTG printers have special effect inks capabilities too?
