Direct to Garment
Direct to Garment (DTG) is the process of printing ink onto a garment (like a t-shirt) and then heat curing it permanently into the fabric. It works like your printer prints onto paper. We can print on any color shirt or garment you want and we can print with color or black and white ink.
Direct to Garment is better than silk screen because it uses specialized ink that bonds to the fabric fibers. Silk screen simply lays the ink on top of the shirt. As the shirts gets folded, washed, bends and flexes, that ink will crack and chip over time. With DTG you will never have to worry about that.
The real magic of DTG is that you can print just about anything you want on it. You can take any picture or photograph, send it to us, and we can print it out on any color shirt of your choice. Want to put your dog on it? No problem. Just send us a picture. If you can take a picture of it, we can put it on a shirt.
We will accept two kinds of pictures: a physical hard copy or a digital file. The hard copy can be any kind of picture; a standard photo you had processed at the camera store or even a Polaroid. We can even use slides! We will scan your picture into a computer and create a digital image. Your image will be printed onto your shirt.
If you want to just email us a digital picture file you already have, that will work too. The digital file can be any image from a digital camera or even a scanner. We accept the following file formats:
.bmp
.jpeg (.jpg)
.pdf
.png
.psd
.tiff
For best results, we recommend a scanning resolution of 300 dpi.
We also have available over tens of thousands of stock designs. Tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll design a shirt for you!
