Direct-to-garment printing (DTG) is a process of printing on textiles using specialized aqueous ink jet technology. 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.
DIRECT TO GARMENT
DTG printers use aqueous textile inks (water-based chemistry) that require a unique curing process. Since DTG inks are water-based, they work best for printing on natural fibers such as cotton, bamboo, hemp, and linen. In some cases next day turnaround is doable.
