-*Direct digital printing now supports larger enclosures, and is the default printing method and a valid option for all graphics unless the image is on a bare or grained finish (in which case Designer prevents you from that application), or is over 46"x46" or the face it is printed on is more than 24" high. If you choose silkscreening when digital print is a valid option, Designer will recommend using digital print instead. (If you ignore the recommendation, Designer will not recommend it again for that design file.)
