Direct to Garment Printing

Our Brother Direct to Garment (DTG) printer uses water-based inks specifically designed for fabric. It’s similar to fabric paints used for fabric painting, but has far superior results. This DTG printer is extremely precise, making it able to print images with much higher detail than traditionally available to screen printing. And you’re not limited with your colour choices.

Advantages of Direct to Garment Printing

With DTG Printing there are no screen set-up’s, tear-down, clean-up of screens and squeegees, or colour separation expenses. The ink our DTG uses is a pigment that soaks right into the fibers – unlike plastisol. The fabrics are heat pressed to cure the print, which sets colour fastness. Digital printing is typically turned around in less than 24 working hours without any rush charges.

What File Format should I use for Direct to Garment printing?

Artwork should be of medium to hi resolution. A 200 dpi minimum applies, but it will look better at 300 dpi. Please be aware that the majority of images that you find on the internet are 72 dpi and are far too low a resolution to be suitable for printing. Unless you’re into blobs. We prefer the artwork to be in any of the following formats; CorelDraw, PDF, Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop. We can use most file types, but prefer EPS, PDF, PNG or Hi Res JPEG, with a transparent background to get the best result.
