What is a digital print versus a reverse print?
Digital print means the image is printed from a digital file onto the cloth, rather than from a screen or roller setup. 'Reverse digital print' is not a single industry standard. On sheers, people sometimes mean ink on the back so colour shows through. Ask which face is printed. Do not assume a proprietary process from the phrase.

- File-to-cloth is the digital part.
- Face matters.
- No secret process is described here.
What to write on a spec
Print method, face, and ground cloth.
If the supplier cannot say the face, you cannot approve the sheer.
