It is virtually
impossible to tell the difference between a garment printed directly
with a screen printing press and one printed using an iron-on heat
transfer. The iron-on transfer has a soft feel and is as durable as the
screen printed version.
The advantage to using transfers lies in your ability to run your
business with limited inventory. Because you don’t typically print the
shirt until it’s sold, you can offer hundreds of designs to your
customers just by keeping minimal stock of the transfers which cost
considerably less than a pre-printed shirt.
If you wanted to offer 300 different shirts to your customers and they
were pre-printed garments, you would have to inventory each design in a
minimum of four sizes and keep on hand at least 2-3 pieces of every
size.
This amounts to
inventorying over 3600 shirts. For most this is not realistic. To carry
the same 300 designs using transfers you would only have to inventory
four sizes of blank garments and 2-3 pieces of each design. This is a
more realistic scenario.
