Digital prints are simply fabric printed with inkjet technology, much like the printer you use at home. The dye is delivered by nozzles. Very customizable but required equipment investment. The equipment is expensive.
Traditional print fabric is made similar to silk screening - metal sheets with holes to allow dye/ink to go through, squeegee'd on. Multiple screens are needed to produce multi-colored designs. Lower cost equipment but not as on-demand, plus the screens can wear out.
