DTG
Direct-to-Garment
Full Color, No Limits
Direct-to-garment printing uses specialized inkjet technology to print your artwork directly onto the fabric. Unlimited colors, photographic detail, and a soft hand feel that makes the print part of the shirt, not something sitting on top of it.
No screens to burn and no setup fees to worry about. DTG fits orders of 24 to 72 pieces best, which makes it the go-to for short runs with full-color art.
From File to Finished
Upload
Send us your artwork in any common format. High-resolution files with transparent backgrounds work best, but we can prep your art if needed.
Proof
We send a digital mockup showing your design on the garment. Revisions are free until you are completely satisfied with how it looks.
Your design is printed directly onto the garment using water-based inks that absorb into the fabric for a soft, durable finish.
Ship
Finished garments ship anywhere in the US. Small runs mean fast turnaround, so your order moves quickly from press to doorstep.
Features & Capabilities
DTG printing opens the door to designs that other methods simply cannot handle. Here is what makes it different.
Full Spectrum Printing
Print as many colors as your design needs without adding cost per color. Gradients, photographs, and complex multicolor artwork all print at the same price.
Zero Screen Charges
There are no screens to burn and no plates to create. Your artwork goes straight from file to garment, which eliminates setup costs entirely.
24 to 72 Pieces
Orders start at 24 pieces. DTG is built for short runs where screen printing setup does not make financial sense.
Ink That Breathes
Water-based inks absorb directly into the fabric instead of sitting on top. The result is a soft, lightweight feel with no heavy layer over the print area.
Photographic Detail
Reproduce photographs, fine gradients, and intricate artwork with sharpness and color accuracy that screen printing cannot achieve at low quantities.
Water-Based Inks
DTG uses eco-friendly water-based inks with lower waste output than traditional methods. Less ink waste, fewer chemicals, and no excess screens to dispose of.
Easy to Reorder
There are no screens to store or re-burn, so a reorder of 24 pieces or more prints from the same file as the first run.
Quick for Small Batches
Without screen setup or lengthy prep work, small DTG orders move through production faster. Ideal when you are working on a tight timeline.
Cotton & Cotton Blends
DTG performs best on 100% cotton and cotton-rich blends. The natural fibers absorb ink cleanly, producing the sharpest colors and longest-lasting prints.
Who Uses DTG?
DTG is the right fit when your order size is small but your design ambitions are not.
Team and Club Shirts
Full-color crests and mascots for a team or club of 24 or more, without paying for a screen per color.
Merch Drops
Launch limited-edition designs without the risk of overproduction. Start with 24 pieces and reorder as demand grows.
Staff Shirts
A run of 24 or more for staff or volunteers. Full-color logos print as easily as one-color ones.
Complex Artwork
Designs with dozens of colors, fine gradients, or photographic elements that would require expensive multi-screen setups in traditional printing.
Small Events
Reunions, birthdays, bachelor parties, team outings. When you need a couple dozen shirts with a full-color design, DTG is the cost-effective choice.
Brand Prototyping
Test new colorways, design variations, or product lines with runs of 24 before scaling up to screen printing for full production.
