What Is Direct-to-Garment Printing?
DTG printing uses modified industrial inkjet heads to spray water-based inks directly onto the surface of a finished garment. Unlike sublimation, DTG works on cotton, blended, and even dark-colored fabrics without requiring any polyester content. The result is a soft, breathable print with photographic color depth — no raised edges, no vinyl feel, no screen-printing limitations on color count.
Best Applications
DTG is the right choice for cotton hoodies, graphic tees, streetwear drops, retail apparel, and any garment where a natural hand-feel matters. Ideal for photographic designs, gradients, or fine detail that would be cost-prohibitive to screen-print. Brands doing small runs, seasonal collections, or made-to-order products benefit most.
Dark Fabrics & Durability
Printing on dark or black garments requires a white underbase, applied in-house on industrial pre-treat machines for consistent adhesion. Every print is heat-cured to lock ink into the fabric fibers. Wash inside-out in cold water, avoid harsh detergents, skip high-heat tumble drying — under normal care, color holds for 40–50 washes.
