DTG PRINTING

How does direct-to-garment printing work?

DTG printing has been around since the early 2000s. With this method, an inkjet printer applies digital designs directly to fabric. The main advantage of this process is there is very little setup time. This allows for the ability to print on-demand with smaller quantities and almost no color limitations.

Advantages of DTG printing:

  • No maximum number of colors
  • Can print detailed images and photos
  • Eco-friendly with use of water-based inks
  • Soft feel print on garment
  • Cost effective for small quantities

What products work best with DTG printing?

Great option for orders with a quantity of less than 10 and for customers with complex full color designs. We recommend using garments that are 100% cotton to achieve best overall result.
