🖨️ What is Direct to Garment (DTG) Printing?
Direct to Garment (DTG) printing is a modern way to print full-color, detailed designs straight onto t-shirts, hoodies, and more — just like using a regular inkjet printer, but on fabric!
💡 How It Works
You create your design on a computer (we recommend high-quality images).
The garment is pre-treated to help the ink stick properly.
The design is printed directly onto the garment using a DTG printer.
We send through our dryer the garment to cure the ink and lock in the colors.
That’s it – your custom clothing is ready to go, with a soft, vibrant finish.
✅ Best For
Small orders (1–50 items)
Detailed or complex designs
Full-color prints, even on dark clothing
Quick turnaround times
Cotton-rich garments (ideally 80% cotton or more)
❌ Not Ideal For
Very large orders – screen printing may be more cost-effective
Super-bright neon or ultra-vivid colors
Polyester or sportswear materials
Designs needing precise placement
Designs without clear edges – sometimes pre-treatment leaves a light mark
