Q.) What is DTG printing?
A.) DTG is a fabric printing method that prints an image directly onto a garment or fabric using an inkjet printer. Think of a regular inkjet printer which has been modified to “accept” garments instead of paper. This offers more flexibility than screenprinting in terms of more colors, cost effectiveness and turn-around time.
Q.) What are my set up costs?
A.) None! Since we are not creating screens per color, as screenprinters do, there is no set up cost.
Q.) My design has alot of colors, can you print it.
A.) Thats our specialty. DTG printing is meant for, but not limited to, full color printing at fast turnarounds with out sacrificing quality and your wallet.
Q.) But I only have a 1-2 color design.
A.) The price for a single color print is the same as a unlimited color print so why not take advantage of it. Remember NO SET UP FEES! :)

A.) Just because a file is at 300dpi doesn’t mean the client sent in a crispy piece of art. Before sending in files do an image zoom at actual pixels to get an accurate display of how an image will print. You may have to choose better image resources to ensure a better print. See FILE PREP for instructions on setting up print files.
