Why is allover printing for t-shirts so hard to do?
Allover printing is extremely hard to do because it requires special printing equipment that is rare and in most cases costs over $100,000. They are very few screen printers in the United States that can afford and maintain such an expensive machine. It is a very large machine that takes up a lot of space and is too bulky to use for smaller print job and lower quantity runs.
Finding the market of buyers wanting all over screen printing is also tough because it is considered a trend that comes and goes throughout the years. It has experienced a resurgence of late because of the print style for mixed martial arts t-shirts.
Beyond just the printing machine, all over printing requires a larger format film printer and special oversized equipment to burn the screens. This adds to the overall investment making purchasing allover screen printing equipment a very risky investment.
