This is called spot coloring, they do color A, color B, color C etc If you’ve got six or seven colors in a design you’re going to have six or seven screens, whereas with a digital printer and you’re looking at having as many colors as needed. No screens needed.

Easy to understand

The machine is able to understand the computer instructions that it receives and all we have to do is put a shirt on the pallet, hit the button and print it. This is really cool because you can do one shirt, two shirts, or as many as you need.
