DTG prints the design straight onto the garment with a specialised inkjet printer. The ink soaks into cotton fibres, so the print feels soft and breathable.
It is ideal for artwork with many colours, gradients or photographic detail.
When DTG is the right choice
- Complex illustrations and photos
- Designs with many colours
- Cotton t-shirts and sweatshirts
- Varied designs across a collection
Fabric matters
DTG performs best on high-cotton fabrics. On dark garments a white base layer is printed first so colours stay bright. For polyester garments we normally recommend DTF or sublimation.
