Direct to Garment
Direct to garment (DTG) printing is a modern t- shirt printing technology that uses inkjet printing to transfer full-color designs and images directly onto t-shirts. It’s a highly versatile and convenient way of printing high- quality designs that have excellent washability and longevity.
The primary benefit of DTG printing is the ability to print directly on to the garment or textile. This allows for shorter runs and the ability to print graphics that are difficult to replicate with screen printing. DTG technology is great for watercolor style prints and art with a lot of details.
As DTG uses water-based inks, you'll get long-term durability, which ensures your print will look great and last for a long time.
The most important caveat of printing with DTG technology is the required substrate. DTG can only print on 100% cotton garments or 80/20 blends where 80% of the shirt is cotton and 20% is a poly blend.
Overall, DTG printing offers many advantages in t-shirt and textile printing with quality prints that last – with fast production and small minimum order quantities. This modern printing technique is a great choice for short-run orders with fast turnaround.
