Digital printing has evolved so much over the past few years in that screenprinting I feel is dying a death.
Having worked for a large format screenprinters for the majority of my print career you would think that i would be trying to sell it and bring it back.
Sorry but no! Digital is the way forward!
Digital is a much better quality, quicker and so much cheaper!
State-of-the-art laser printers have made it possible to produce small quantities of high-quality color products at prices everyone can afford.
With screenprinting the maximum of 65lpi is achieved and that is the being kind with digital printing the outcome is around 1200dpi which you would class as photographic quality.
Because digital printing is much quicker this goes hand in hand with the cost too! You don’t have the set up charges of screenprinting (ie screen set/clean up etc) simply send us a hi res (300dpi) PDF and we will print from that - pretty much in the same way that you will send to your regular printer at home.
This cuts down on man hours too. So, a few hundred A4 prints can take minutes rather than hours to produce. The cost of materials is also a factor of the cost, with digital printing you will only need 1 or 2 sheets of overs, and screenprinting you will need a minimum of 10% overs! and that is all getting added into your cost! Think of it this way - you should only be paying for what you need.

So next time if you are debating which direction to go in!
Give me a call or email me for a price - you might just be surprised in the price that you get!
