All four stations run on site in Anaheim, from Convention Center booths to Platinum Triangle sponsor nights. Each is good at different things, so your art, the crowd size and the room usually decide it for you.
Live screen printing
Ink pulled through a screen on a real press, in front of the line. It's the quickest per shirt for one to three bold colors, which is why it suits a packed fan expo where a few hundred people want the same logo. More on live screen printing.
Live DTF printing
Full-color transfers heat-pressed onto the garment while guests wait. No screens and no color count, so gradients, photo art and a different name on every shirt all work. It's our usual pick for a short run or a mixed menu. More on live DTF printing.
Live embroidery
A logo or monogram stitched on site. It's slower per piece and costs more, and it looks it, which is why it fits VIP gifting, hotel hospitality suites and trade-show clients you want to impress. More on live embroidery.
Live hat bar
Guests pick a cap, pick a patch, and we press it on. It pulls a crowd at brand activations near Honda Center or GardenWalk and packs into a small footprint. More on the hat bar.
Rule of thumb: big line and a simple logo → screen printing. Full color or a small run → DTF. Gift-level pieces → embroidery or the hat bar. Plenty of Anaheim events pair one fast station with one premium station.
Still weighing it? Read screen printing vs DTF, or send your event details and we'll suggest a mix.

How the room changes the choice
In an Anaheim Convention Center hall, floor space and power come through the show, so we match the station count to what your booth ordered. In a resort ballroom or a Packing District patio, space is the limit, and a single DTF lane or a hat bar often fits where two screen presses won't.
It all comes from the Fullerton shop on the morning truck: screen presses and flash dryers, heat presses for DTF and patches, blanks, tables and signage. Plan about 10×10 ft and two 120V circuits per station.
