Direct to Garment
Direct-to-garment printing (DTG) is a process of printing on textiles using specialized aqueous ink jet technology. DTG printers typically have a platen designed to hold the garment in a fixed position, and the printer inks are jetted or sprayed onto the textile by the print head. DTG typically requires that the garment be pre-treated with a PTM or Pre-treatment machine allowing for the following:
- Stronger bond between garment fibers and the pigmented inks
- Lays down loose fibers to provide for a smoother substrate
- Chemically reacts with the inks to promote drying and curing

Why use Direct to Garment?
Since this is a digital process the print is sharper and has a higher resolution, or DPI, than traditional printing methods such as screen printing. However, unlike screen printing, there is no long setup or clean-up process, and DTG has the ability to print just one single shirt for minimal cost.
Meet with Our Graphic Design Team to Share Your Vision
First provide a .jpeg, .png, or .pdf file for this process. Our graphic design team is ready to assist in helping you create the right image for your vision of your garment.
Create a Test Print
Next, we provide a test print on the fabric of your choice for your approval.
Go into Production
We then go to print for production. Direct to Garment printing can be used T-shirts. You think it, we can print it. It is a cost effective way for small quantities.
