Screen printing, DTG printing, comparative analysis, sustainability analysis

The debate between traditional screen printing and modern direct-to-garment (DTG) printing methods has garnered significant attention within the garment industry, prompting a comparative analysis that considers both operational efficiency and sustainability implications. This paper provides a comprehensive examination of screen printing and DTG printing techniques, focusing on their respective processes, performance characteristics, and environmental footprints. Through a comparative lens, we evaluate key factors such as print quality, production speed, material usage, energy consumption, and waste generation to ascertain the strengths and limitations of each method. Additionally, we conduct a sustainability analysis, assessing the environmental impact of screen printing and DTG printing in terms of resource utilization, chemical usage, emissions, and end-of-life considerations. By synthesizing empirical evidence and industry insights, this study aims to inform garment manufacturers, printers, and stakeholders about the trade-offs inherent in choosing between screen printing and DTG printing, ultimately guiding informed decision-making towards more sustainable and efficient printing practices in the garment industry.
