What is DTG Printing?
17 February 2025
DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing is a technology that directly applies water-based ink onto fabric—much like an inkjet printer prints on paper. The specialized inks absorb into the fibers, creating a soft, seamless print without any film-like layer. This method is ideal for achieving high-detail designs with intricate color gradients and fine details.
Advantages of DTG Printing
- Vibrant Colors & Sharp Details
Perfect for high-resolution designs, complex artwork, and smooth color gradients. - Soft & Natural Feel
The ink integrates with the fabric, resulting in a finish that feels soft and natural rather than plastic-like.
Disadvantages of DTG Printing
- Limited Fabric Compatibility
Works best on 100% cotton or high percentage cotton blends but is not able to print on polyester or synthetic fabrics.
- Higher Cost per Piece
DTG has higher ink costs compared to DTF.
