DTG Printing
Premium Full-Color Printing. Exceptionally Soft Feel.
Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing applies ink directly to the fabric, creating detailed, full-color prints with a soft feel. It is especially well suited to cotton and cotton-rich garments.
Benefits of DTG
- A soft finish that feels like part of the shirt.
- Fine detail, photographs, and smooth gradients in full color.
- A strong choice for cotton and cotton-rich fabrics.
Things to consider
- Fabric matters: polyester and performance garments often suit DTF better.
- Dark garments need a white ink base, which can give the print more feel than on a light shirt.
- Results depend on the garment, artwork, and print coverage.
DTG vs. DTF
Both methods produce full-color prints and work for one-offs or larger orders. The main difference is how the print sits on the garment: DTG prints directly onto the fabric for a softer finish, while DTF uses a heat-applied transfer for a bold, opaque print with a more noticeable surface feel. Choose based on the fabric and finish you want—not the number of colors or shirts.
