On-demand, Full Color Apparel Printing with No Minimums
- Full-Color Magic: Achieve stunning full-color prints without the added cost of multicolor screen printing.
- Test Before You Commit: DTG is perfect for sampling your product before committing to a large production run.
- Quicker Turnaround: Since it is a digital process turnaround time is usually half the time of a traditional screen printed order.
This is How It's Done!
Important Details to Know
Fabric Matters
- 100% Cotton Preferred: DTG works significantly better with 100% cotton garments. The ink adheres specifically to cotton fibers, ensuring the best results. Using non-cotton or blended fabrics is at your own risk. For other materials, we recommend exploring transfer printing options.
- Print Size & Placement: Maximum Print Area: 14″ x 16″
- Seamless Printing: DTG cannot print over seams, hems, or stitches. Ensure your design fits within the flat surface area for optimal quality.
Color Considerations
- CMYK Spectrum: DTG prints using CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) color space, which does not support fluorescent or neon shades. To ensure color accuracy, design your graphics in CMYK or convert them before submission.
- Printing on Dark Garments: A white base layer is required for dark garments. While DTG provides a vibrant print, it may not be as opaque as screen printing or vinyl.
Care Instructions
- Wash With Care: Proper washing is essential to maintain your DTG prints. Incorrect washing may lead to rapid wear and fading of the design.

How It Works.
From start to finish in 4 simple steps.
Submit your request through our order form, send us an email or give us a call. If you are looking for a quote we need to know a rough quantity, number of colors in the design, how many print locations (front, back, sleeve, etc.) and the style of garment we are printing on. If you have a required in-hands date, please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly
We will either send over a rough quote or provide a mockup/invoice for your approval. Production time ranges from 3-7 business days and does not start until the order is finalized and payment has been received. Net terms are available for certain clients. Contact us for more info.
Once approved, we will order the blanks and get the order on the production schedule. The next time you hear from us is when the order completes production. You will receive an email from our system with pickup instructions.
You can pickup your order anytime during normal business hours (Monday-Friday from 9AM - 5PM). If these times do not work, please schedule something with your customer success team member.
