Thanks for that information. I want to design at least one t shirt over xmas and will probably buy a batch of 10 (I've already spoken to Admin about costs) screenprinted tees as an experiment. It needs to be done, else I'll never do it. Roy Nottage´s last blog post..A Touch More Naked People

A direct to garment print is not the same as a screened print, they have very different characteristics. The only real reason to produce a printed T shirt sample would be to assess ink colours and print quality, rather than composition, therefore I would not advise using a DTG print as a sample for what will ultimately be a screen print, but as I mentioned in the post, it is now a common request and the only option for some people running on a tight budget. The design in the above post would not have worked well at all as Direct to garment in my opinion.

Would you recommend one-off DTG prints for someone who wants to test out a design (for composition / seeing what shirt colour works best, not for testing print colours as such) before screenprinting it in batch? Roy Nottage´s last blog post..Motion Studies
