Frequently asked Direct to Garment Printer Questions
What is DTG Printing?
DTG printing, or Direct-to-Garment printing, is a digital printing technique that allows for high-quality, full-colour prints on fabric. DTG printers work similarly to inkjet printers, using special inks and a printhead to apply ink directly to the garment.
DTG printing is often used for small-scale production runs, custom designs and on-demand printing with easy setup.
The cost of DTG printing can vary depending on factors such as the type of ink used, the complexity of the design and the size of the print area. DTG printer machines range in price from a few thousand pounds to tens of thousands of pounds, depending on the model and features.

What machines do you need to print shirts?
For a typical DTG t‑shirt setup, you will usually need a DTG garment printer, a pre‑treatment solution or machine for dark garments, a heat press to cure the inks, and a suitable computer and RIP software to manage artwork.
A lot of businesses also add accessories such as interchangeable platens and drying equipment to speed up workflow and handle different garment types.
What are the downsides of DTG printing?
DTG works best on cotton or cotton‑rich garments and generally requires pre‑treatment for dark colours, which adds an extra step and a potential learning curve for new users.
Compared with some methods, print speeds can be slower for very large batches, and investing in a quality DTG printer usually involves a higher upfront cost than basic transfer equipment.
