What is Direct To Garment (DTG) printing?

Direct To Garment - DTG is a full color digital printing technology, similar to the printers we would have at home. The system is based on four inks: cyan, magenta, yellow and black - CMYK colors - which are automatically mixed to reproduce a wide range of colors. Although the color palette is huge, direct to garment printing does not allow you to create pure Pantone colors.

We print the design you want to customize directly on the item material with the printer. This way, we don't need additional equipment or tools, as can happen in techniques like screen-printing or sublimation. DTG printing is therefore considered one of the simplest printing techniques, very useful in short runs. If you want to order in large quantities, we recommend sublimation printing or screen printing. We also recommend these two techniques instead of DTG printing if you want to order custom mugs. these two techniques instead of DTG printing if you want to order custom mugs.
