- This Moron Thinks Manual Screen Printing is Dead.
Just my 2 cent opinion, I know friends that have DTG, DTF machine, but I'm more prefer silkscreen. Silkscreen method for me is more durable, cost effective and can apply on any material substance. DTG is good but can only apply on cotton materials.,if it prints on material other than cotton, it's fail.. Dtf is also good but it have plastic feeling, dtf is good when applying on microfiber, poly but it's fail on cotton... It gonna crack when wash a lot of time Both Dtg and dtf have their own maintenance cost.... I'm more tend go to silkscreen

Nice job! Hope all is well.
Edit: Almost forgot to speak about the topic. People that think screen print in any form is dead are delusional. More than likely they were sold a DTG or DTF machine and think they're going to set the world on fire. While those machines have their place, they can't keep up with screen printing, the quality is not what most people expect from decorated apparel, and chances are they're catering to a market that's hard to scale and require a lot of customers to make any profit.
Just my 2 cents.
That is true. I actually timed this once. I bought one of those machines and I had a 2 color print to do. It took 3 minutes to print one image using the machine, and I still had yet to run it through the heat press. I was able to screenprint 9 shirts by hand in 3 minutes without having to use the heat press. My prints were even smoother and more natural looking than what the machine did. If you have a lot of free time and don't want to get your hands dirty then the machine is good for you, but for those that actually want to make some money, old school screens by hand is the way to go.
That tape dam idea is brilliant! I've done the trick with two colors on the same screen for short runs, but it is always a "be very careful" situation. This will help for sure!
I love DTF and I've been selling DTF for about 3 years now, but I love screen printing. These are different production models for different volumes/artwork. It's always a red flag for me when a printer (whether screen printing, DTG or DTF) brings another printing method down just because it's not what they're selling.
Thank you for making these videos. As someone who is stll learning, the videos you make help me tremendously.
appreciate all of your hard work and dedication
You are right, DTG, DFT is a new technological challenge, but as always with this type of machines, you work for the manufacturers (fragile and expensive, "irreparable", ink costs... etc etc.... And big companies like Print on Demand are also a challenge, but if you look closer at their price / quantity, we're still competitive... And most importantly, what kind of customers do you want? What kind of quality relationship do you need? Find and follow your niche, keep your quality high, listen to the customer... Screen printing, like painting or sculpture (even if the 5 axes exist), will never disappear. We are proud Artisans, we're practicing an art that goes back thousands of years. Leave the millions to the corporations and the masses, there will always be a public for handmade ;-)
I'm with you that screenprinting is NOT dead or dying. And, yeah, that the face to face is more important. Also, okay, just my 2 cents, I don't like the look, feel or short print life of dtg or dtf. To me, just reminds me of the ol days of transfers. One last thing, only screenprinting has all those specialty inks and effects .
Another excellent video you also need to understand that NY has hundreds of not-for-profit organizations and all of them use shirts or other identifying items that require screen printing. You could come off if you go out there to rallies and introduce yourself and give them your card it goes a long way.
Screen printing will never die out especially for big runs. I personally love DTF and use it a lot more now because my customers order smaller batches.
Anything above 50 I screen print or get screen print transfers.
As always, J, this video was a much needed answer to thoughts in my head. How do i get more of what i need, when is more work coming? I gotta get out there and speak to people. Thanks!
I agree with you 100% people like doing business with people. It is amazing how far you can get by building those relationships.
Las técnicas serigráficas más antiguas provienen de la cultura oriental. Se estima que las primeras impresiones fueron realizadas por los nativos de las islas Fiyi, en el año 3000 a. C., utilizando hojas de plátano agujereadas para la distribución de las tintas. La historia de la serigrafía data de esta época. la serigrafia no va a morir .
That cant be more true. I offer DTF and screen print, but almost always I show the printed samples on a shirt to the client. The clients go ALWAYS with screen print because of the quality and feel. The only way they go with DTF is when they don’t have the quantity of pieces to do it on screen print.
I do the same thing i only use DTF for smaller orders with lots of colors or full color.
😂facts 💰 💯 👏🏿 🙌🏿 Definitely sharing
I think screen printing will never die! It been around since the late 60's and will continue. It is still the best feel on garment in my opinion. You are so right that we got lazy and using social media for everything.
It been from antic China :-)
@@LartiZen didn’t know that. Only know about what was said in the US. Need to go in and learn more about the history. See you never stop learning. Thanks
@@distinctperformancellc en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_printing , in french we call this technique "serigraphie" from latin words "sericum = soie = silk in english + greek word " graphein" = écriture in french = writing in english" :-) Old old technique, just silk and ink my friend.
Awesome work 👍
Brother I'm been watching your video's for so many years and I like how you handle the screen printing business but one thing you're missing in your business you never try to learn sewing machine in order for you to win the screen printing business you need to learn how to sew clothes believe me you will thanks me later😊
I disagree, screen printing is an art and adding embroidery takes away from the craft. another skillset to the shop and another piece of equipment to keep running. Too much for a 1 person shop. I had a embroidery machine for 6 months. Wasn't worth the hassel. more inventory and parts to keep in stock. Better off sending to someone who sews or embroiders as a fulltime business.
it's kinda of a weird topic because on one hand you have all these new guys skipping screen printing and going directly to DTF and DTG yet at the same time most of the young people I follow on IG and TikTok are screen printing in their bedrooms literally on the floor without a press and they're selling VERY well with their personal brands. Screen printing your own clothes for your own brand is basically like a cheat code for organic marketing and to get good engagement. You open the comments on these videos and you see countless people asking about screen printing and how to do it and people arguing about how since it's handmade/printed you should charge X amount etc. I'd say screen printing is more relevant and respected than it ever has before. When I was younger I had no idea what screen printing was but once I was in high school I started seeing it online and really respected it and the people who could do it and I feel that has not changed and has actually increased as time has gone on. The people saying it's dead just don't know how to properly advertise it.
I keep getting more and more interest in what I do, however they only want one shirt or two shirts and I can't screen print that and make money so I do iron on transfers.
Yep I agree. Screen Printing is not dead. “New” forms of printing doesn’t mean that the other printing methods dies. It obvious that person doesn’t know the industry well enough. ✌️
Its dying cause of technology in screen printing has gotten better..u can get screen print transfers...even amazon has screen printing....i will use tranfers at times cause of timing...i do embroidery also so i always have many jobs..5 color jobs take a minute...if u want new customers go old school with pamphlets and maybe a demo shirt and hat...i did that and got business in my local area that just didnt know about me.....
Sup Taino I hope you have a blessed week as well.
DTG I think will go away but screen printing will be around to the end of time.
Screen print will never die. durability dtf is crap. but all screen printer are buying dtf. if they have that they are solving their solutions. site like supa color are in trouble though.
Hello
So not true. Screen print is still very much alive. Most people don't want to go through the process to learn and perfect the craft. I've used DTF, DTF, screen print and sublimation and screen print transfers. I've seen numerous amount of people who HATE the feel of DTF and if it was more readily available would chose screen print anyday
