Direct To Garment or DTG printing is a process of printing graphics onto textiles and garments. It uses modified inkjet technology to print whatever graphic you want onto the shirt. Think of it like a giant inkjet printer.
DTG printing is a fairly new method that allows for a lot of variation compared to screen printing. DTG printers can print over 16 million colors directly to your shirt. The ink is safe and dries quickly; it soaks into your garment and becomes part of the shirt. That means there’s no chance for the graphic to crack, peel, or wash away over time.
