What is DTG printing?
DTG stands for Direct to Garment. DTG is a type of printing method that prints DTG ink directly into your garment, which results in an amazing breathable printed shirt. DTG is especially great on thin fabrics that need to breathe, such as t-shirts. DTG is great when you need to print images, pictures, graphics, fades, many colours, or small details. DTG printing is especially recommended for T-shirts because no matter how big the design will be, the printing will not affect how the shirt breathes. The print will not block the air and will make the shirt comfortable to wear. The only negative about DTG printing is that there might be a slight glue base that’s required for the DTG printing to adhere to the fabric. This glue base might have a slightly odd texture on the shirt, but it usually washes off after a few washes. DTG printing is best when done on 100% cotton. The minimum amount of cotton required for DTG is 50%, but the more cotton, the better. The durability of DTG is also very impressive. For longer lasting results always wash your shirts inside out and in cold water. InstaCustoms only uses level 5 ink (out of 6 levels) so that the images are of amazing quality. Most, (if not all) of our DTG competitors use level 2 or 3 ink so that each print is much cheaper and faster to produce. Be careful of the competition.
PROS:
- Recommended for thin cotton fabrics like t-shirts, tank tops, etc…
- Works best when the shirts are 100% cotton
- Unlimited design colours with no design limitations on what can be printed
- Perfect for colourful images, pictures, or any design that has lots of details
- Perfect for designs that have fades
- Breathable prints since the ink is printed directly into the garment
- Durability
CONS:
- Vibrancy: Since the ink is printed directly into the garment this might affect the vibrancy
- Only works with cotton fabrics (minimum of 50% cotton)
- When less than 100% cotton then the vibrancy and results are affected
- The glue base might slightly affect the feel but it should wash off eventually
- The glue base might slightly discolour the fabric and should fade after washings
- Not great for pocket logos
- Not great for sleeve logos
