Claim One:
1. A method of printing first and second images on a stretchable flexible substrate using successive silk screening and digital printing processes, the method comprising: printing a first image on the stretchable flexible substrate using a silk screen and producing a first image on a stretched flexible substrate, the first image caused by the silk screen and the stretchable flexible substrate stretching during printing; mounting a template material on a drum of a digital printer; printing a second image on the template material with the digital printer, the first and second images being related to form a composite image; placing the stretched flexible substrate on the drum of the printer with respect to the template material; aligning the stretched flexible substrate in a desired position so that the first image on the stretched flexible substrate is in alignment with the second image on the template material; mounting the stretched flexible substrate on the drum of the digital printer at the desired position; and printing the second image on the stretched flexible substrate using the digital printer, whereby the first image and the second image are aligned.
