Apparel Printing Methods

Apparel we offer may be printed using one of two methods — Direct-to-Garment or Direct-to-Film. The method chosen is based on what we feel is best for the design so you're sure to get a quality image on an item.

Direct-to-Garment (DTG)

DTG printing is a method where the ink is jetted directly onto the garment, which allows for high-quality, full-color prints. DTG prints are soft, breathable, and durable.

DTG printing is best suited for fabrics like cotton, bamboo, and other natural materials, as the material absorbs the ink. 

Direct-to-Film (DTF)

DTF printing is a method where the design is printed onto a special transfer film with water-based-inks and transferred to the garment using a heat press.

DTF prints have excellent color accuracy and detail, are durable, and look fantastic. DTF printing offers a wide range of color options and the ability to print on dark and light garments. It’s also suitable for various material types like polyester, cotton, nylon, and fleece.
