DTG
(Direct to
Garment)
Direct to Garment Printing or DTG is the Future of Garment Printing.
This means printing a full color image directly onto a fabric without
needing any set-ups, screens, or films. When designers want to
print 5 to 10 shirts to test the market, and see if there's a future for
their designs, DTG is their best option.
The quality of your design on the fabric depends on two variables, the
file and the printer. We only use
KORNIT
and
BROTHER
DTG garment printers to insure the highest quality of printing.

Embroidery
Embroidery machines need
commands to tell the needles where to go and what to do. This action is
known as "Digitizing". Any logo or font needs to be digitized. The good
news is that embroidery machines come with certain fonts already
programed, so you don't have to pay for digitizing.
Visit our
"Embroidery"
page to see available / digitized fonts and images that you can choose for
your project.
Screen Printing
(Silkscreen)
Screen printing or as some call it silk screeing, is best when the image
is a spot color image. This means the colors don't fade out and there
are no gradients. Screen printing is mailnly used for higher volume of
garments. This is due to the time and effort that it takes for the
set-up / screens to be created. Every color needs it own screen. Also,
every light color ink on a dark color fabric needs a white under layer.
This is to ensure that all of the colors look as vibrant as
possible when printed on the shirt.
See "SCREEN PRINT" page for details.
The best quality images for screen printing are created with either
Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop or Coral Draw. There are many types
of inks and style of printing such as:
INKS: Plastisol Ink, Water Based Ink, Neon
Ink, ...
Non-Inked applications: Flock, Foil, Discharge,
Glitter, Shimmer, ... |
