DTG (Direct to Garment) Printing

While screen printing is still a widely used industry term, DTG printing is one the numerous advances for textiles in recent years. DTG is a process we have more than 10 years’ experience with and is a method that boats unlimited colours and used eco-friendly inks.

By boosting the number of available colour choices from nine to infinity, DTG printing can achieve photo-realistic renditions of a design.

For DTG printing, all you need is a high-resolution digital image of your logo in an editable format. The better the dpi (dots per inch) and resolution of the image, the better the final result will be when printed onto materials. 300 dpi is the minimum, but our printers can produce work up to 1400 dpi.

In DTG printing, the material quality of the garment we print on is crucial as it works best on 100% cotton. We have identified the brands that are best suited to this process and will make sure to supply the right garment for the right print.

Need help creating an idea or design into a computerized vector file (editable artwork?) Don’t worry as we have the expertise that can help guide you. Send us your design today and we will provide a cost for its creation in vector format. Vector files or eps. (electronically protected script) ensures that each element within the artwork is an independent object that is fully scalable on its own, allowing us to change colours and re-size the design (as necessary) without blurring or more.

For embroidery, a .png or .jpeg will suffice, as long as no edits are required to your artwork, so we can scan and digitize your logo into an embroidery format.

For printing, we need your design in a vector format (editable artwork) to avoid set up costs, and is often embedded in a .pdf or an eps. file from your graphic designer.

Our branding costs are discounted to reflect that we are supplying the garments.

Various factors determine the unit costs; quantity of garments, print area coverage, or embroidery is determined by the number of stitches in the design (for example). Once we have sight of your logo and know the quantity and preferred process required we will organise a quote (normally same day).

We will normally prepare a quote and get back to you same business day.
