I thought it was a good time to take another look at our printing techniques – with a little help from our test lab. So today we will tackle the age-old question asked by many of our first-time customers: What are the differences between the printing techniques? Which technique do I use to get the results I want?
As supporters of flex and flock, we certainly stand behind our plot printing because it offers the best durability in the battle of Shirt vs. Machine (not to mention that it looks bang-on). The downside of this technique is that not everything is always doable on a t-shirt with three colours. That’s where digital printing comes into play, and specifically our Digital Direct printing technique.
But, before we take a look at the test lab’s results, here is some information about our experiment:
- We chose flex to represent all plot printing techniques. Nothing against flock, writable flex or special flex, but plot printing’s durability is consistent across the board. We could definitely do a test of just plot printing techniques if you are interested.
- We take our science seriously and as in all controlled experiments one should keep the variables to a minimum. Therefore we used one design for all three printing techniques. Of course, this one-coloured design does not highlight the colourful advantages of digital printing, but here we really wanted to look closely at durability.
- We should also mention that Digital Transfer normally has a slim white border around the design. This border is not visible here as it was possible here to cut the foil close enough to the design, thus eliminating the border.
For an even more detailed overview of our printing techniques, check out this great FAQ article. What hopefully comes across here is the difference between plot, Digital Direct and Digital Transfer, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each technique: continue reading ‘Printing Techniques Experiment - Test Lab #3′



It is hard to ignore how the situation in Iran has moved many. Politics, democracy, alleged rigged voting and a vast collection of opinions stand at the centre of it all, most loudly heard with the question “Where is my vote?” As we so often see in political movements, opinions make a very fast move to the t-shirt and here specifically green shirts.
