Hi,

I'm in my final year of college and in order to graduate, I have to write a paper. I chose "the future of screen printing" as my subject.
I was thinking about creating a fictional order which combines digital and screen printing and send it to a company which only does screen printing, a company which does only digital printing and a company that does both. Then I would compare my findings concerning price, profit, time of delivery, etc.

I wondered if anybody had any ideas about what this order could/should look like? Maybe different runs?
And what results I could compare.

Thanks!

The only Things that I can thing of that can be done both off the top of my head are like
Signs, banners, and posters. Price will be a big question based mostly on quanity.
Digital almost allways wins on small orders. Especially when lots of colors are involved.
More colors = more screens = higher set-up cost.
Lots of things go into cost factors.
Try coming up with several things for this Assignment.
Like large 1 color
Large 4 color
Large 8 color
Small one the same way.
Good luck.
