What is DTG printing? (concise versions)

October 10,2023

      I briefly introduced screen printing before. Today this blog will introduce to you a high-


end printing
technology——
DTG printing.




⭕ DTG is similar to printing pictures directly on clothes like a color printer. And it suitable


for patterns with rich colors or gradients.


✌ DTG printing can be divided into two categories:

Printing on dark garments: It needs to add an extra layer of white background to fix the


color before printing, otherwise the printing will reverse the background color, so the


printing will have a slight gummy feel.






Printing on light garments: The color of the shirt is preferably white or light color. The


pattern can be sprayed directly on the fabric. The printing will look like nothing and has


good breathable.




🚫 Restrictions:


  • The material can only be cotton, and pants cannot be sprayed directly. 

  • Due to the influence of CMYK color printing mode, the actual printing effect is
 
       
        darker
 than the design artwork.





💴  Because good DTG machines and inks are relatively expensive, the price of


DTG printing will be relatively high.   


⭕ Generally, large quantities are suitable for cost-effectiveness. Cheaper ones have poor


color performance and color fastness. Need to choose carefully.
