Direct To Garment (DTG) Printing
How DTG Printing Works
DTG printing works by using specialised direct to garment printers to apply water-based inks directly onto fabric fibres. These printers function similarly to inkjet printers, digitally transcribing designs onto garments. This process requires no setup fees or screens, making it an efficient process for various designs.
This method ensures your designs are part of the fabric, not just sitting on top. It’s an efficient process for creating detailed images.
Designs DTG Printing is Ideal For
DTG printing is ideal for small quantity orders, detailed designs and full-colour prints, making it perfect for intricate artwork or unique custom items.
Unlike other methods, DTG printing doesn’t require setup fees for each colour in your design. This makes it a more economical option for smaller quantities or one-off designs.
While our DTG printing delivers exceptional detail and a comfortable feel, we understand you want to be confident in your choice. That’s why we offer DTG samples. You get to personally inspect the print quality and feel the fabric before placing a larger order.
See how your specific colours and designs translate onto the garment. This allows you a chance to view the final product before committing to a bigger order.

What Makes DTG Printing Great?
DTG print offers several benefits for your custom clothing needs:
- Detailed Designs: This method excels at reproducing complex designs with multiple colours and fine details.
- Comfortable Finish: The inks used soak into the fabric, resulting in a soft feel that is comfortable to wear.
- Quick Turnaround: With no screens to prepare, it allows for faster production times.
- Versatile Artwork: Direct to garment printers can work with various file types, including .png, .jpg, and .pdf, making it easy to use your existing designs.
- Eco-Friendly Inks: It uses water-based inks that are more environmentally conscious.
Choosing Between DTG and Other Printing Options
DTG printing offers distinct advantages when compared to other main printing techniques. While screen printing is often the most common method, particularly for large bulk orders due to its cost-effectiveness at scale, DTG shines for smaller quantities as it has no setup fees. This makes DTG more economical for smaller runs and highly detailed designs.
Embroidery is the most durable technique but can be more expensive for larger designs and is a slower process. DTG provides faster turnaround times and excels at reproducing complex, multi-coloured artwork.
Heat transfer involves applying designs from a printed film, while DTG prints directly into the fabric, resulting in a softer feel.
