100% cotton fabrics yield the best results for DTG printing due to their excellent ink absorption and color vibrancy. High-cotton blends also work well, but we recommend avoiding polyester fabrics as they do not absorb ink as effectively
DTG prints are quite durable, especially when printed on 100% cotton. Proper care, such as washing inside out in cold water and tumble drying on low, can help maintain the print’s quality over time
Yes, DTG printing can be done on dark-colored garments. A white underbase is often applied first to ensure the colors of the design appear vibrant and accurate
Turnaround times can vary. Typically, custom-printed tees can be ready in as little as 2 business days, with shipping taking up to 2 - 6 days depending on the ship location. Local orders can sometimes be completed the same day for a rush fee or by the next day
DTG printing excels with complex, multi-color designs and photo-realistic images
Designs should be high-resolution (at least 300 DPI) and saved in formats like PNG with a transparent background or TIFF. Vector files such as AI or EPS are also acceptable
To maintain the quality of DTG prints, wash garments inside out in cold water, use mild detergents, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low or air dry. Iron inside out if necessary
Yes, DTG printing can be used on a variety of cotton-based items such as hoodies, tote bags, and even certain types of fabric shoes, provided the printing area is relatively flat
DTG printing is ideal for small to medium-sized orders, complex and colorful designs, and quick turnaround times. Screen printing, on the other hand, is more cost-effective for large orders with simple, limited-color designs due to the setup involved in creating screens for each color
While DTG printing is versatile, it works best on flat areas of the garment. Standard locations include the front and back of t-shirts, but it can also be used on sleeves and other areas if the surface is relatively flat and the garment can be securely placed on the printer
DTG printing is considered more environmentally friendly than traditional printing methods. It uses water-based inks, which are less harmful to the environment, and produces minimal waste since there is no need for screens or setup materials
DTG printing works best on solid, light-colored fabrics for optimal color accuracy and vibrancy. Printing on pre-dyed or patterned fabrics can be done, but the results may vary depending on the fabric's color and pattern. Dark or heavily patterned fabrics may require additional treatment, such as a white underbase, to ensure the design stands out
Yes, we can print on baby clothing. Our specialized equipment allows us to print detailed and vibrant designs on various sizes and types of baby apparel, including onesies, t-shirts, and bibs. We use safe, non-toxic, water-based inks to ensure the prints are gentle on a baby's skin. Please ensure that the baby clothing is made of 100% cotton or a high-cotton (80%) blend for the best print results
Yes, there is a separate charge for creating custom logos or providing graphic design services. This fee covers the time and expertise of our design team to create or adjust artwork according to your specifications. The cost will vary depending on the complexity of the design and the amount of work required. Please contact us for a detailed quote based on your specific needs
