Digital printing (DTG)
Detailed. Modern. Directly on fabric.
Digital printing (DTG – Direct to Garment) is a modern textile printing process in which the design is printed directly onto the fabric . Similar to an inkjet printer, the ink is applied precisely to the fabric – ideal for detailed designs , color gradients, and small print runs.
What is digital textile printing (DTG)?
In the DTG process, the design is printed directly onto the garment without a screen or transfer film . The colors penetrate the fibers, resulting in a very soft feel .
DTG is particularly suitable for cotton and organic cotton .
This is how the DTG procedure works
-
The textile is pre-treated
-
The image is prepared digitally.
-
The printer applies ink directly to the fabric.
-
The color is fixed by heat.
-
Finished, detailed print
This process enables high-resolution prints without extensive preparation.
