DTG printing results.
Direct to garment ( DTG printing ) is the best method of t-shirt printing if you are printing colorful designs for small lots like 1pcs. For Print on demand (printing one off t-shirts or small lots) and for printing photos on to your t-shirt straight from the computer this method is a boon. You need DTG machines to do this printing. It is mainly used for 100% cotton or cotton blend t-shirts.
The DTG printer prints directly onto the t-shirt with a great degree of precision and accuracy of colors.
You can use unlimited colors in this printing, even 100+ colors. You can design your own prints and patterns, make your own customizations with even your name on it or photographs. The color looks more vivid with this printing than with the screen printing, with a softer hand.
Direct to garment ( DTG printing ) like the screen printing method, it is also popular among hobbyists. It easy to do but it will require knowledge and skills if you are not going to get professional help. All you need for it work is the textile printer and ink .
DTG works like a paper printer in the office. The only difference is that, in this case the ink is going to the fabric. You first need to upload the design to the computer, which then creates uniqueness and creativity.
Designing for DTG printing
Design considersations
If your design was created in Photoshop and features gradients, fades or transparency then the following must be taken into account:
DTG Printers cannot print opacities or transparencies so it is important to ensure the opacity of your graphic is at 100%.
Graphics will appear more pixelated when printed onto fabric than they will on paper or on screen because the ink disperses further.
Fades and glows can be problematic in DTG Printing, especially when printing onto coloured garments, because a white base layer is applied first.
Make sure your graphic is designed using CMYK colour settings. DTG printer’s use CMYK inks so bright lime green, super-hot pink or metallic colours will not render properly.
