What is Direct to Garment Printing?
Direct to Garment printing, or DTG, is a textile printing process that utilizes specialized inks to print directly onto a garment using a DTG printer. The garment’s fabric fibers soak up the inks, bonding them to become a permanent part of the garment. DTG produces prints that do not crack, peel, or distort the image over time. While DTG works best on 100% cotton products, cotton blends are also suitable for this style of printing.
The DTG Printing Process
Benefits of DTG Printing
Direct to Garment printing is quickly becoming the go-to standard for print-on-demand apparel printing. There is virtually no setup time required for DTG printing, making it efficient for bulk orders and one-off print jobs. This is ideal for the print-on-demand model. As soon as your customer places an order through your online store for a single item, we automatically receive the order, print the design, and send it directly to the customer. No overhead or bulk orders needed!
DTG printing can also easily accommodate highly detailed designs with broad, vibrant color palettes that cannot be accomplished efficiently by other methods such as screen printing, the setup for which can be very time consuming. DTG printing offers a wide range of color options. You can print detailed designs and photorealistic images with virtually no color limitations. Since DTG-printed designs soak directly into the garment fibers, they remain durable over time, won’t crack and fade, and aren’t stiff, making them more comfortable to wear.
DTG printing has the additional benefit of being more sustainable as a printing method. Since DTG allows for print-to-order and one-offs, overproduction and textile waste are avoided. No bulk printing means no excess or unsold product!
