What is DTG Printing?

Direct-To-Garment vs. Screen-Printing

Direct to Garment (DTG) printing is a relatively new technology that basically replaces screen-printing in many cases.  Based on the same technology as an inkjet printer, a DTG printer applies water-based garment ink directly to apparel.  A heat cure sets the ink into the fabric, resulting in a permanent print.

Advantages of DTG Printing

·      NO SETUP FEES!  Screen-printers will charge you setup fees per color just to get started.

·      FULL-COLOR PRINTING!  Even if you pay to get many colors screened, you won’t come close to the photo quality, high resolution capacity of DTG.

·      NO HEAVY INK FEEL!  Screen-printing just places thick ink on top of the fibers, DTG embeds water-based ink directly into the fabric.  On white of light colors, you won’t be able to feel the ink.

·      NO CRACKING OR PEELING!  Over time, screen-prints will crack or peel with age.  DTG prints will stand the test of time because they are embedded in the fibers.

·      NO MIN. QUANTITIES!  Screen printers don’t like small orders because the setup costs and labor outweigh the profits.  We have no setup costs or fees*, so order as many or as few as you need.

DTG Printing has paved the way for affordable custom apparel printing.
