Benefits and Limitations of Direct to Garment Printing

Benefits

  • Infinite Colour Palette: With DTG printing, vast and intricate colour designs pose no challenge.
  • Cost-Effective for Small Batches: In contrast to screen printing, DTG reduces setup costs, making it an economical option for smaller orders.
  • Pleasant to the Touch: As ink is well-absorbed into the fabric, DTG prints deliver a soft touch.
  • Durable designs: Print high-definition images that will last the life of the garment.
  • Swift Delivery: Quick turnaround times make DTG an ideal choice for rush orders.
  • ECO Friendly: In terms of sustainability in garment printing, this decoration process is about as sustainable as it gets. Our DTG process is also GOTS accredited.

Limitations

  • High Cost for Bulk Orders: While cost-effective for smaller batches, DTG printing can prove to be more expensive for larger orders, due to ink and maintenance costs.
  • Design Positions: Some placement options may be difficult or impossible to print, for example shirt collars and cuffs.
  • Polyester Challenge: Printing onto polyester with a standard DTG machine is impractical. There are adaptions and specialist DTG machines with poly print capabilities, but most garment decorators don't have this expensive technology yet.

Walkthrough of Direct to Garment Printing

  1. Design Creation: The design is digitally processed to create a machine-ready file before being forwarded to the DTG printer.
  2. The Main Act: The garment is placed in the DTG printer, where specialised inks are used to transfer the design onto the fabric.
  3. Inking The Design: Post printing, the garment is heat-treated to ensure the ink’s durability.
  4. Quality Assurance: A comprehensive quality check follows the printing process to guarantee a vibrant and precise design.
