  • Description: What to consider when creating artwork for various decoration methods In the garment-decorating industry there are many different production methods available-screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, dye sublimation, direct-to-film (DTF) transfers, vinyl cutting and more. Like screen printing, digital printing can employ either vector or raster artwork.This includes dye sublimation, direct-to-garment printing, white-toner transfers and direct-to-film transfers.While vector art can be used, because digital printing has the ability to print full color without it affecting price, as is the case with screen printing, it only makes sense to utilize the full-color potential of raster artwork. Note, an issue with digital printing can be banding or streaking, i.e., when lines appear in a print as a result of a print head becoming clogged. Because banding is more noticeable in areas of solid color, vector images tend to fall victim to this problem more than raster images. Because raster artwork is generally made up of multiple varying colors, even if some of the nozzles are clogged, the other colors will still print, which helps camouflage the banding.
