Digital vs Rotary Printing: Which Suits Your Order?

|Dynamic Knitfabs

Quick Answer

The right print method depends on your quantity, colours and timeline.

Digital printed fabric

Digital and rotary printing both put designs on fabric, but they suit different orders.

Digital printing

Artwork is printed directly from a file with no screens. There is no limit on colours, and fine detail prints sharply.

  • Best for sampling, short runs and many colourways
  • No screen cost, quick changes
  • Our MOQ: 100 m

Rotary printing

A cylindrical screen is made for each colour. Once set up, it prints long runs quickly and at a lower cost per metre.

  • Best for larger quantities and repeat designs
  • Screen set-up for each colour
  • Our MOQ: 2000 m

How to choose

  • Under 2000 m or many colours: digital
  • Large repeat orders: rotary
