In the past few years, technology has developed massively.

The printing industry has benefited from the latest advancements in print technology.

Many printers have moved away from the traditional analogue approach, and some of the biggest firms are making use of digital equipment that is distinct from t-shirt printing which uses traditional silk screens.

Direct to Garment (DTG) and screen printing are the most popular and certainly the most qualitative.

 

In the past few years, t-shirt printing agencies have been making use of silk screen printing as their preferred method for designing t-shirts.

The only other substitute used was iron-on designs or transfers that produced unique products.

The biggest problem with iron-on was the fact that it was a time-consuming process when it comes to designing many t-shirts.

On the other hand, the screen printing process allowed the distribution agencies to create many t-shirts in short duration.

However, with the introduction of digital printing, things changed.

More and more people are using this process to create unique designs.

Digital printing is a new era of printing that allowed the print agencies to print designs from a computer, directly onto a shirt.

Traditional screen printing will gradually be replaced by digital printing.

 

The UV digital printer began to gradually replace the work of screen printing, and its printing speed and mass production advantages have become another shining point, which has begun to be accepted by more and more customers.

Screen printing is becoming more and more digital at a faster speed, quality and efficiency and has a strong development position in industrial printing. But inkjet printing for UV digital presses, as a new technology, is a new printing technology that can really threaten the dominant position of screen printing in industrial processes.

The UV digital printer began to gradually replace the work of screen printing, and its printing speed and mass production advantages have become another shining point, which has begun to be accepted by more and more customers. However, silk printing does have a place in the commercial printing market. Screen printing is still feasible for long runs or printing specific spot colors. Let's compare the advantages of both screen printing and UV printing.

 

• Screen printing advantages

Screen printing is arguably the most versatile of all printing processes and can be used to print a variety of substrates, including paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, metal, fabric and many other materials. From the screen printing industry, some common products, including posters, labels, stickers, signs and all kinds of textiles and electronic circuit boards, it is easy to see that the advantage of the screen printing process is that it can be printed on any shape, thickness and size. Another major advantage is that it is the cheapest printing method in mass production, in addition to its durability and print colorfastness.

 

• Large format UV digital printing press advantages

When we compare the advantages of UV digital printing presses, they are more environmentally friendly than screen printing, but one of the biggest advantages that can't be ignored is that they can print directly on various hard media. Direct printing reduces waste, simplifies the printing process, and greatly increases recycling opportunities for printing costs. There have been reports from foreign companies that the large-format UV digital printing press in the printing market last year was the least in the wide-format digital printing industry, but it was also the most dynamic and fastest-growing new technology. Since UV inks require only UV or light to cure, this also increases the printing speed of UV digital presses.

UV digital presses are recognized by many customers by reducing the number of hours and operators while reducing the cost of ink and printed objects. This is also considered to be one of the most important advantages. Direct printing on many materials for printing is also a sublimation of printing technology.

As for how long it takes, screen printing will be outdated, which is not known. In China, UV digital presses have replaced screen printing in many industrial applications. Therefore, we can conclude that the new printing trend of uv digital printing press has begun, and the specific printing technology should be selected by the customer to see which way is more suitable for your business needs.
