DTG printing

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) PrintingDTG technology prints your design directly onto fabric using water-based inks, similar to how an inkjet printer works on paper. It’s ideal for print-on-demand with ultra-soft results, vibrant colors, no setup needed, and zero order minimums.

Vibrant Colors, Long-lasting Print, Soft FeelWith DTG printing, the ink soaks directly into the fabric, rather than forming a layer on top of it. That means:

The design will not peel, crack, or fade easily over time.
The fabric stays soft and flexible, not stiff or heavy, comfortable to wear.

What fabrics and designs work best with DTG?

DTG ensures every product meets the highest quality standards: soft, vibrant, and built to last.
This technique lets you create detailed, full-color designs with no setup delays or upfront costs.

Ideal Fabric Types for DTG Printing

100% Cotton (esp. ringspun or combed) - Best choiceCotton absorbs ink well, so your design prints clearer, brighter, and lasts longer.

Cotton Blends with a reliable ratio - Decent alternativeColors are less vibrant on Cotton Blends, but great for balancing quality & cost.
