Online Custom Printing vs In-Store Printing
                     Online Custom Printing vs. In-Store Printing
With the pandemic, more businesses have shifted to offer services online
than ever before. People often wonder when searching for custom t shirts
NYC if they should look for a website online or find a store in-person that can
do their printing for them. If you are starting out, the best advice is to find a
store in-person that can meet with you and explore your printing needs.
When  you  are  searching  for tshirt  printing  New  York,  you  may  be
tempted to go online and order your shirts. It’s okay to go that route but
you may end up with a product you don’t entirely love. When choosing a
business for custom printing, the most important factor is how much time
the  business  can  give  you  as  you  set  out  to  get  your  product.  Small
businesses are working on lean staff already and if you walk into a shop and
they aren’t taking the time to get to know your product needs, they may be
offering you an “online experience” when you are shopping in-store.
With in-store shopping for tee shirt printing, there are a lot of decisions to
make. The brand of shirts, the color of shirts, the comfort of shirts, the fit of
shirts. These can be experienced in-store because most vendors carry more
than one brand. Additionally, the type of printing technology varies and the
quality varies. There is DTF (direct-to-film printing), DTG (direct-to-garment
printing),  heat press and silk  screen printing technologies.  Each of these
offer  a  different  look  and  feel.  Understanding  the  t-shirts  and  printing
options will allow you to choose a product that best aligns with your brand
vision and your customer needs.
This experience can’t be obtained when online custom printing. Sometimes,
it is easier to first start off in-store, establish a relationship with a shop you
know and trust and then migrate to the online platform. The other main
advantage with in-store custom printing is that you may be able to get
same day printing for your product if you are in a rush.
