Direct to Garment Printing

What is Direct-to-Garment Printing?

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing is the process of printing garments using a state-of-the-art printer that sprays environmentally friendly textile ink directly onto a garment. Unlike screen-printing, the ink becomes a part of the shirt, adhering to the 100% cotton fibers after being heated. The result is a shirt with a beautiful, full color image, which feels very soft to the touch.

What is the difference between DTG and Screen-printing?

Screen-printing uses plastisol ink, which is composed primarily of two ingredients (PVC resin (a white powder) and plasticizer (a thick, clear liquid). It is then applied to the shirt, one color at a time. Each of these colors is pushed through an individual screen that holds the design. These screens, the time to setup the job and the post-job clean up normally make up the “screen” and “setup” fees. Our method does not use screens. Instead, a Direct-to-Garment printer prints directly onto the shirt using environment-friendly textile ink.

What format do you require?

We prefer a Photoshop Document (PSD), but we can also print using other formats such as EPS, AI, PNG, BMP, TIFF, JPG and GIF. The image must be the size you want printed, as well as at least 300 dpi.

What are some of the images people have printed on shirts?

We have printed logos for businesses, mascots & graduation shirts for schools, event shirts and even shirts for wedding parties! We specialize in making your shirts beautiful and something you are proud and excited to wear!

We also offer graphic design services to help you with your illustrations, logos, designs or photo preparation for your garments. Contact us for more information.
