Here at Vivid Creations ( Bellingham Embroidery), you get two printing options:

1. Screen Printing
2. Digital Printing

You might have heard about screen printing...digital printing might be new to you.

By reading below...you'll know which method makes the most sense for you and your business.

Screen Printing vs Digital Printing

Before we get to the differences between the two. It's important to know that both forms of printing produce durable and wash friendly prints. Whichever you end up choosing...be assured the item will last long time.

The most prominent difference between the two comes in terms of "quantity" and "number of ink colors".

Screen printing involves setting up screens based on number of ink colors. 1 color logo means at least 1 screen. 3 color logo means at least 3 screens...so on and so forth. Therefore screen printing always has a minimum quantity. Ours is 15 pcs. You can also mix and match items eg. 8 tees and 7 sweatshirts etc depending upon the quantity you need.

Whereas, digital printing has no minimum. You can do 1 item, or couple dozen. Since we're not using screens, instead printing directly onto garment using a machine...we can print a multi-color logo without any big price difference.
