Direct to Garment (DTG) printing is a process that allows you to digitally print artwork on Cotton, Hemp & Linen garments using a water-based textile ink jet printer made for garments. The garments typically need to be treated with a bonding agent that allows the ink to adhere to the fibers of the garment. The printer allows you to load a shirt, bag, hat, shoes, etc. onto the platen and begin the printing process.
The unique thing about DTG is that there are no quantity minimums like screen printing and there are no color restrictions. There is no need for screens used in screen printing because with DTG the process is digital.
Although the process may sound simplistic, DTG is a skill set that takes time to master. Not all digitally printed shirts are created equal. Van Diesel Designs has mastered the art of pretreating & printing, and this keeps us a step ahead of others in our industry.
