Pros And Cons Of On-demand Printing by Jamesroi: 7:04am On Aug 03, 2023
There are a lot of t-shirt printing techniques nowadays and some printers use multiple options while some stick to the more popular ones. You need to consider what best fits with your printing project whether it be t-shirt printing, tote bag printing or something else. Here is a closer exploration of on-demand printing.

Examining on-demand jacket printing
On-demand printing basically uses the process of garment printing called DTG or direct to garment. It is the most modern type of printing, where you use an inkjet printer that prints onto clothing or items rather than onto paper. The printers are larger than your paper printer. There is very little setting up to handle and that is why printers will print smaller batches so you do not have to order large bulk orders. Sometimes people prefer to order smaller amounts and it also means you do not have to handle leftover inventory that you cannot move.

On-demand garment printing - Pros and Cons
Pros - Easy to setup and takes very little time to manage. You can get reasonable prices on single prints or small quantities. Digital printing is also the best option when you want to print something like a photo onto a garment, or an image that has a lot of detail and colors. You could have a family photo printed onto a tote bag, or choose a more complex design for your printing needs.

Cons - If you want to order a large number of jacket printing for whatever purpose, on-demand is not the best option. Printers will not offer price breaks for ordering more as they often do when you choose screen printing. The cost per shirt is also higher than most other options so if profit and budget is the main issue it might not be the best choice. With on-demand printing the colors are not as vibrant as with screen printing either, though you can have more of them. Not all printers have the most modern inks that allow them to print well onto dark-colored garments.

How to know on-demand is right for your printing needs
On-demand printing refers to printers using DTG printing methods for your request whether that be tote bag printing, t-shirts, or something else. There are a lot of ways you can use it, you can test the launching of a brand by exploring different designs and then seeing which people prefer for example. You might be using it for personal needs, not business ones. You do not have to commit to large orders or larger costs though the per item cost is more. It is a very convenient option if you want detail, lots of color, or smaller amounts, or when the cost is not your primary concern.

Summary
With the above guide, you can help determine if on-demand printing will best meet your needs or whether to look at other options like vinyl printing, screen printing or even something like embroidery. Be sure to choose a printing service with a good reputation and you can achieve the goals you have.
