Want to print your own artwork on real silk scarves — without huge minimum orders? Digital printing makes it possible. Here's everything boutique owners, designers and fashion brands need to know.
Digital printing is like a giant inkjet printer for fabric. Instead of making expensive screens for each color (traditional screen printing), the printer reads your artwork directly from a file and prints it straight onto the silk.
This means you can print photographs, gradients, and full-color designs with unlimited colors — no extra cost per color.
| Digital Printing | Screen Printing | |
|---|---|---|
| MOQ | 10 pieces | 100-500 pieces |
| Setup cost | $0 | $50-200 per color |
| Colors | Unlimited | Limited per screen |
| Turnaround | 3-7 days | 2-4 weeks |
| Best for | Small batches, custom designs | Large runs, simple graphics |
Not all silk takes digital print well. These are our top picks:
1. Silk Habotai (12-16 momme) — Our most popular. Light, airy, takes color beautifully. Perfect for scarves, pocket squares, and headbands.
2. Silk Twill (16-19 momme) — Heavier, more structured, with a subtle sheen. Holds vibrant colors and drapes beautifully. Great for luxury scarves.
3. Silk Chiffon (8-12 momme) — Ultra-light and sheer. Perfect for flowing scarves and wraps.

Step 3: You approve the sample.
