What is DTG Printing?
​DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing is a modern digital method that uses specialized inkjet technology to print designs directly onto fabric—especially cotton garments—making it ideal for high-quality, full-color prints; unlike traditional methods like screen printing, DTG requires no stencils and is highly efficient for complex and colorful designs.
Why Choose DTG Printing?
DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing is an excellent choice for custom apparel because it offers high-quality, detailed prints with minimal setup. Here’s why many choose DTG for their printing needs:
✅ Photo-Quality Detail: Perfect for complex, colorful, or photographic designs with smooth gradients and fine lines.
✅ Soft Feel: The ink is absorbed into the fabric, leaving a soft, natural finish—especially on cotton.
✅ No Minimum Orders: Ideal for one-off pieces, small batches, or on-demand printing without large upfront costs.
✅ Quick Turnaround: Minimal setup means faster production compared to traditional methods.
✅ Eco-Friendly Inks: Uses water-based, non-toxic inks that are better for the environment and safer for skin.
✅ Great for Personalization: Easily customize individual items with names, artwork, or unique graphics.
Whether you're launching a clothing line, offering print-on-demand products, or just creating a few custom tees, DTG printing provides a flexible, high-quality solution for modern garment printing.
What is DTG Printing Process?
The process is simple, clean, and ideal for producing high-quality, full-color prints. Here's how the process works in detail:
1
Design Preparation
-
A digital design is created using graphic software (e.g., Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator).
-
The file is then loaded into RIP (Raster Image Processor) software, which optimizes the image for printing.
2
Pretreatment
(for dark garments)
-
Dark fabrics are sprayed with a pretreatment solution to help white ink adhere and prevent bleeding.
-
After pretreatment, the garment is dried using a heat press or tunnel dryer.
3
Loading the Garment
-
The garment (usually a t-shirt) is placed flat on the DTG printer's platen to ensure accurate printing and alignment.
4
Printing
-
The printer uses water-based inks (CMYK and white) to spray the design directly onto the fabric.
-
White ink is printed first (on dark garments), followed by the color layers.
5
Curing the Ink
-
After printing, the garment is heat-pressed or cured in a dryer to bond the ink with the fibers and ensure wash durability.
