The Process of Direct To Garment Printing

How it Works?

DTG printing is the process of printing images directly onto fabrics and garments, such as t-shirts. It employs the use of textile inkjet technology to print your desired image onto the garment. It’s useful to imagine it as a giant inkjet printer, but instead of papers and documents, it prints designs on fabric.

Step 1

Garment Selection

100% ring spun cotton garments print best with Direct To Garment Printing

The best material for DTG printing is Cotton. For the best results go for 100% Combed Cotton, but if you prefer mix of comfort don't go below 80% cotton. The cotton gives a good surface for the print to adhere to and will ensure the print quality on your garment will be impressive and durable.

Step 2

Pre-Treatment

It prepares the garment to receive ink in a way that results in a sharp and durable print

This step involves applying a specialized pre-treatment solution to the fabric. It helps improve the adherence of the ink to the fabric, enhances color vibrancy, and prevents the ink from spreading too much on the fabric's surface. The pre-treatment process prepares the garment to receive the ink in a way that results in a sharp and durable print.

Step 3

Printing

DTG printing is the process of printing images directly onto fabrics and garments

It employs the use of industrial inkjet technology to print your desired image onto the garment. It’s useful to imagine it as a giant inkjet printer, but instead of papers and documents, Pre-treatment is required for darker colour garments so white underbase can be printed to give bright colours.

Step 4

Curing

Heat or UV process ensures to permanently affix the printed ink to the garment

After printing, your garment goes through either a industrial heat press or tunnel dryer or UV curing process to dry and permanently affix the printed ink to your shirt.

Certain Hues can look different on a Computer Screen and on Print

Some Colors can look Different in Real Life

There aren't many things our incredible DTG process cannot achieve! However, when choosing the colors for your artwork, it’s important to note that they may look different on a real product than what you see on your computer monitor. Even if you have calibrated your monitor to a specific color profile, there are various factors that influence the final appearance of colors on a printed product. Because of this, we can’t guarantee color accuracy 100%.

Our printers will convert your submitted print file from RGB to CMYK color space. This color conversion process changes the color gamut, or range of colors that can be expressed. You must be very cautious when using bright neon and pastel RGB values in your print files. Some examples include hot pinks, lime greens, construction orange, highlighter yellow, Easter egg shades, etc. You should also consider other factors like fabric material, garment color, and whether your print will require a white under base layer when choosing colors.

If color accuracy is important to you, we suggest ordering our pre-made color swatches on a sample product. You can use those swatches to decide which RGB values best compare to the desired results when printed on a physical product.
