Direct to garment technique is used for high quality printing.

Direct to garment printing (DTG) is a new process for printing on the cloth which allows full colour printing direct onto the garment without the need for screens, transfer or sublimation techniques.

DTG printers are garment printers which, are at the very fundamental level, an ink jet printer usually based on traditional printer principle and they work in the same way as the one that sits on the desk printing demands. A tray holds a platen onto which the t-shirt is placed and which then moves under the print-head similar to the way paper moves through a printer.

It is a best substitute to standard screen printing whereby screens have to be made before the print can be started. It's a good alternative to transfer printing whereby initial quantities often need to be larger in order to make them more cost effective.

Direct to garment technique can be used on white and dark garments. And for this printing there is no require screen. Artwork that is readable available and high resolution jpeg images can easily print. Once set up even print quality. Fantastic detail can be achieved from very complex designs and it is possible for dtg. Print area is for A3 which is great for user.

There are some major breakthroughs:

The first major breakthrough was that of printing onto 100% cotton

The second major breakthrough was the development of white ink, making it possible to print onto any colour of Shirt.

Advise White 100% Cotton T-Shirts as the best medium. But Sweatshirts and Polo shirt can also be successful. The key is to test each garment until you are happy with the print finish.

The quality of a DTG print is amazing! Since the print process uses CMYK inks, the color range is almost limitless. The print itself is very lively and has great detail. Direct to Garment Printing can create high quality gradients and photos because it is a continuous tone process. There are no halftone dots or screens used to simulate shades of color. Because of this, blends and photos are smooth and detailed in appearance. Screen printing would use a line screen resolution up to about 72 dpi. With DTG printing we can produce prints using 1440 dpi resolution!

This includes: T-shirts, bags (all types), hoodies/fleece , performance apparel, umbrellas, portfolios, camping chairs, jackets, pants/jeans, hats, koozies, sneakers, CD cases, lunch bags, coolers, polo shirts, neckties, seat cushions, leather/leatherette car interiors, robes, pillow cases, shorts, uniforms, golf bags, luggage, briefcases. On the whole anything made of fabric that you can fit onto the heat press.

Direct to garment is appropriate for Hen and Stag night events, corporate events, charity events, small companies requiring short run printing full color logos, promotional events, magazine launches, sports tours, children clubs, fun gifts for surprise parties, etc.

This process has some drawbacks. Fro the best print quality, it is better to use the single head machines, hence the process is slower and the job takes longer, colored T-shirts need to be pre treated, the initial artwork needs to be of good enough quality.

This state of the art process allows for millions of colors and shades to be applied on the item. This printing process is perfect for photo t-shirts, high color designs and images with intricate detail. There is no minimum order to print with this technique so feel free to order 1 shirt or as many as desired.
