DTG is a relatively new fabric
printing method that prints an image directly onto a garment or fabric
through what is essentially a modified version of a traditional inkjet
printer. Think of a regular inkjet printer which has been modified to
“accept” garments instead of paper. The ink is printed directly onto
fabric which results in exceptional “hand” (common term in the industry
referring to how a garment feels once the image or design has been printed
on it), and offers more flexibility than screen-printing in terms of color
variation and turn-around time (especially for smaller orders).
Originally it was best suited for light garments as white ink was not
available. As the technology continues to advance, however, major DTG
printing providers are adding dark garments to their lists.
There are many modified paper
printers to print on fabric but only the printers that are made for
garment printing would produce quality prints and just like any other
equipment in the market, there are low quality and high quality equipments
and we have chosen the two that are on the top of the list which are
Kornit and Brother.
Go ahead and place an order to see what you design would look like one
only one shirt, there is no need to order quantities since there are no
minimum requirements.
DTG printers use Water Based ink
therefore there is almost no feel to the print and for that reason it is
best to use 100% cotton fabric so that the ink can get absorbed to the
fabric. 50/50 fabric create as its call Dye-Migration where the dye of
the shirt may/will affect the color of the ink.
