Direct to Garment (DTG) shirt printing has revolutionized the world of custom apparel, and our customers at amazingprint.net are experiencing the incredible results firsthand! Imagine the ability to print virtually any design directly onto a t-shirt or a range of other apparel items. This is exactly what DTG printing offers, operating much like your home inkjet printer, but specifically engineered for fabrics. At amazingprint.net, our advanced Epson SureColor DTG printers bring this capability to life, delivering stunning prints directly onto your chosen garments.
We’ve found DTG printing to be an invaluable complement to our traditional screen printing services. While screen printing remains a fantastic option for many projects, Dtg Shirt Printing shines in scenarios demanding intricate detail, vibrant colors, extensive customization, and rapid turnaround times. For projects where you need a wide spectrum of colors or photographic prints, DTG truly excels. Another significant advantage? We happily accommodate orders for even a single shirt! This makes DTG an ideal solution for individuals needing personalized gifts, small batch samples, or unique, one-off designs.
Unlike older methods like iron-on transfers that are prone to cracking, peeling, and fading over time, DTG prints are remarkably durable and long-lasting. In fact, the longevity of DTG prints is comparable to that of high-quality screen printing, ensuring your designs will endure wash after wash. However, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind to achieve the best results with DTG shirt printing.
One notable aspect is the difference in print feel on white versus dark shirts. When printing on white shirts, the process is incredibly straightforward, often requiring no pretreat. This results in an exceptionally soft print, sometimes referred to as having a “soft hand.” This same soft feel can also be achieved with our “vintage print” option on light-colored t-shirts, offering an economical and comfortable outcome.
Dark shirts, or any shirts requiring white ink in the design, necessitate a pretreat application. This additional step is essential for ensuring the colors pop vibrantly and the white ink is opaque on darker backgrounds. While pretreat adds a slight cost to each shirt, it’s a completely harmless process and washes away cleanly during laundering, requiring no special care on your part.
We encourage you to visit our showroom to see firsthand examples of the exceptional quality of our DTG shirt printing. We maintain an inventory of black and white t-shirts for all ages and sizes, from toddlers to adults (sizes 2T to 3XL), in popular and stylish brands, ready for your custom designs. Ringspun cotton shirts are particularly well-suited for DTG printing, and our standard DTG service includes a high-quality ringspun cotton tee.
Furthermore, unlike screen printing which often requires specific vector file formats, our DTG printer is versatile and compatible with a wide range of file types, including commonly used formats like jpg, tiff, and png. This flexibility makes it easier than ever to bring your digital designs to life on custom apparel through DTG shirt printing at amazingprint.net. Consider DTG for your next project when you need vibrant, detailed, and personalized prints, quickly and efficiently.
