Frequently Asked Questions about Direct to Garment Machines
What does DTG mean?
DTG stands for ‘Direct-to-Garment’. It is a printing method where designs are printed directly onto garments using specialised inkjet technology and water-based inks.
The DTG process allows the ink to soak into the fabric fibres, creating vibrant, durable, and soft-to-the-touch prints without cracking or peeling. DTG is favoured for its minimal setup and ability to produce photorealistic images compared to traditional screen printing methods.
Which is better, DTG or DTF printing?
Both DTG and DTF printing have their advantages, depending on your goals. Many print businesses use both methods to offer flexibility across different products and materials:
- DTG is ideal for cotton garments and produces soft, detailed prints with a natural feel, making it perfect for fashion and retail.
- DTF, on the other hand, works on a wider range of fabrics and is more durable for high-volume or complex designs, especially on polyester or blends.
