Direct To Garment Digital Printing

Direct-to-garment, or DTG for short, is no longer the newest way to decorate a t-shirt. It has not been for a long time.

We have been offering the DTG process since 2006, which put us among the first companies in Australia to do it, and in that time we have watched the method go from novelty to a specialist tool.

 

The difference between the digital prints - DTG and DTF Transfers

Specialist is the right word. DTG is not the answer to every print job any more. It is the answer to a particular set of them, and for a few of those it is the only method that works at all.

For example, you can not do photographic designs with Embroidery and Screen Printing; many colours are really expensive and require a large minimum order due to the set-up costs of each image.

Dye sublimation is only suitable for 100% polyester fabrics. Digital transfers also have limitations.

With DTG, each image is printed digitally, so there are no screens, no messy cleanup, and no minimum order quantity, making it perfect for personalised products and fast dispatch.

 

 

Getting a Price

Tell us the garment style, the quantity, the print positions and the artwork, and we will quote it. If your job sits near one of the crossover points above, we will price it both ways and tell you which one wins.

The Age Of Digital T-Shirt Printing

The Age Of Digital T-Shirt Printing The first method of computer printing to t-shirts was through transfer paper and a hot press. Originally this was called Iron-on transfers because you could put them on with a hot iron. But, this method didn't work very well, so scientist soon went to work to find a better way to print directly onto the t-shirt.
