DTG direct printing – soft, detailed, and vibrant
With DTG direct printing, the design is printed directly onto the garment using water-based textile inks. The process is particularly suitable for cotton textiles, detailed designs, photos, and soft color gradients.
Since no separate transfer film is applied, the print remains pleasantly soft, especially on light-colored cotton textiles. DTG is ideal for high-quality T-shirts, hoodies, and small to medium quantities with many colors.

When is DTG direct printing the right choice?
