The DTG printing technique

Direct-to-garment, or DTG printing, is a method that sprays ink onto garments and is similar to printing on paper. DTG printing technique is an excellent option for those who want to add complex, multi-color designs on t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, and other similar fabric items.

Dynamic colors, comfortable feel

DTG-printed designs soak into the clothing fibers, that way the prints:
  • Don’t sit on top of the fabric
  • Remain uncracked over time
  • Aren’t stiff and feel comfortable for the wearer

Efficient, no-waste printing

DTG designs are printed using non-toxic water based inks that ensure the garments are safe for adults and children. Have your designs printed with machines that are energy-efficient, produce zero wastewater, and are a sustainable choice for your brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our DTG printing services.

What's the minimum order for DTG printing?

There's no minimum! You can order as few as one piece. DTG is perfect for samples, prototypes, or small runs where screen printing minimums don't make sense.

How does DTG compare to screen printing?

DTG is ideal for small orders (1-24 pieces) and complex, full-color designs. Screen printing becomes more cost-effective at 25+ pieces with simpler designs. We'll recommend the best method for your specific project.

What fabrics work best with DTG?

DTG works best on 100% cotton or high-cotton blends (50%+ cotton). The ink absorbs into natural fibers for vibrant, long-lasting prints. For polyester or performance fabrics, we recommend DTF printing instead.

How durable are DTG prints??

Very durable! With proper care (wash inside-out, cold water, tumble dry low), DTG prints last 50+ washes without significant fading. The ink becomes part of the fabric, not just sitting on top.

Can you print on dark-colored shirts?

Yes! We use a white underbase layer for dark garments, which allows full-color printing on any shirt color. The print may have a slightly different hand feel on dark shirts due to the underbase.

What file format should i send?

PNG with transparent background at 300 DPI is ideal. We also accept JPG, PDF, AI, EPS, and PSD files. Don't worry if your file isn't perfect—we'll optimize it for DTG at no extra charge.

How long does production take?

Standard turnaround is 7-10 business days from art approval. Rush orders are available for tight deadlines—just let us know your timeline when requesting a quote.

Do you offer samples?

Absolutely! Since there's no minimum order, you can order a single sample before committing to a larger run. This is one of the biggest advantages of DTG printing.
