    What simulated process is

    Simulated process ("sim process") uses a small number of ink colors to produce a wide range of colors. It combines traditional spot colors with halftones and gradients, so designs with many colors can usually be printed with 6–8 colors.

    Why it beats DTG and DTF

    For durable, photorealistic prints on tees, simulated process offers a look, feel and durability that direct-to-garment and direct-to-film printing can't match. Color separations are done in-house.
