DTG Printing
What is DTG Printing?
DTG Printing is a technique that allows for high-quality, full-color prints to be directly applied to garments using specialized inkjet technology. Unlike traditional printing methods, DTG Printing eliminates the need for screens or transfers, resulting in a seamless, professional finish every time.
How Does DTG Printing Work?
- Preparation: The garment is carefully pre-treated to ensure optimal ink absorption and adhesion.
- Printing: The garment is placed onto a flat surface (platen) and fed into the DTG printer. Using advanced inkjet technology, the design is digitally printed onto the fabric with precision and detail.
- Curing: Once the printing is complete, the garment is cured using heat to permanently set the ink, ensuring long-lasting durability and colour vibrancy.
Why Choose DTG Printing?
- Limitless Design Possibilities: With DTG Printing, the only limit is your imagination. Whether you’re creating custom apparel for your business, event, or personal use, DTG allows for intricate designs, vibrant colours, and fine details.
- High-Quality Results: Say goodbye to faded, cracked, or peeling prints. DTG Printing delivers crisp, vibrant designs that stand the test of time, wash after wash.
- Fast Turnaround Times: Need your custom apparel in a hurry? DTG Printing offers quick turnaround times without sacrificing quality, making it ideal for both small and large orders.
DTG printing produces best print results on custom t-shirts and garments with 100% cotton content. Using DTG printing for items with a high polyester content is not currently possible.
