What is the difference between digital print, screen print, and block print in textiles?

Method	How It Works	Best For	Price Impact
Digital Print	Inkjet printer directly on fabric — any design, unlimited colours	Photographic prints, complex multi-colour designs	Cost-effective for small runs; scales well
Screen Print	Each colour screen applied separately — one screen per colour	Bold, flat designs with 4–6 colours; large runs	Higher setup cost, lower per-unit cost at scale
Block Print	Carved wooden block dipped in dye, hand-stamped on fabric	Traditional, artisan, handcraft aesthetics	Slower, more expensive per meter; premium positioning

In Surat wholesale context: 90%+ of wholesale garment printing is digital print — fast, flexible, and cost-effective. Block print products command a premium and are positioned as artisan/handcraft products. Screen print is used for promotional and uniform orders.
