What is DTG Printing?

The Future of Apparel Printing

null

DTG Printing aka DTG Direct to Garment Shirt Printing, Digital Direct to Garment Printing, Digital Apparel Printing is a process of printing on textiles, t-shirts, and other garments using specialized or modified inkjet technology. Digital DTG Direct To Garment Shirt Printing has come a long way in the past few years and can now print on black garments, cotton blends, and last countless washes. DTG printers use a special textile ink which prints the ink directly onto a fabric that we pre-treat in house. These inks are absorbed by the fibers of the garment. DTG printers are extremely precise in terms of color and photograph quality. With Digital DTG Direct To Garment Shirt Printing you’re able to achieve unlimited colors and detail which screen printing was not able to achieve. DTG Direct To Garment Shirt Printing does not have costly initial set up fees and minimums starting at 25 per design. Talk to us; we’d be happy to help you start!.

The Best Prints

Fabric Differences

DTG Direct To Garment Shirt Printing works best on 100% Cotton garments. While possible to print on certain blends including poly cotton blends, we recommend at least 65% cotton or more. Images may not print true to color on certain fabric blends or colors. We recommend to always order a sample per fabric and color prior to bulk on styles we have not pre-tested.

Water-based Eco-Friendly

High Quality Inks

Our digital apparel printing inks were designed to achieve the highest level of quality available. The inks are specifically designed for numerous washes prior to fading or cracking. They work best on 100% cotton garments but can print on certain poly cotton blends and even a few tri-blends. We recommend ordering a sample of your desired garment prior to running a production as each fabric and color may react differently.

Interested in Samples?

Blank Samples

Select the color & size you would like to receive the sample in and choose Blank Samples as the decoration method

Decorated Samples:

Process your order and save it, to review with a rep that can provide samples.

With full production order

We can produce you a sample of each design for free or a small fee with a placed production order depending on the locations, design, and number of units. Your account rep will confirm the cost to produce. (Additional time required)

Prior to placing a production order

We can produce a fully decorated sample prior to placing a production order. This method tends to cost a lot more initially since all of the preparation and set up work would be the same whether we are producing 1 piece or 10,000 pieces. We would be able to refund or credit you all or a portion of your sample costs depending on the final production quantities to follow.
