We Now offer Direct to Garment Printing!


What is DTG?

DTG is a printing method that prints ink directly onto a fabric garment similar to how a paper printer prints onto a sheet of paper.


Why DTG?

DTG has several advantages

  • No Minimum Order Requirements
    • Only need one shirt? No problem at all. Unlike screen printing which can be a time consuming process to setup, DTG allows us to print one shirt just as easily as many shirts
  • Turn Around Times
    • ​DTG printing can allow fast turn around times in comparison with traditional screen printing. Potentially same day printing if you bring your own shirt and already have your design ready to go.
  • "Picture Perfect"*
    • Since DTG prints on a shirt just like your at home Inkjet Printer, we are able to print pictures and images more accurately than traditional screen printing. *See "things to keep in mind" "T-Shirts Vary"*
  • Water-based Ink
    • Water-based ink makes this printing method eco-friendly as well as gives the end result a softer feel than traditional screen printing.
  • We Accept Outside Images!
    • ​You are welcome to come in and see what images we have available for DTG or if you would like you can send your own! We gladly print images purchased from etsy and other sites. We ask that all customer supplied images be a high quality png file with a transparent background.


Things to keep in mind

  • Picture Quality Matters
    • ​We print all images as they are sent to us. If they have a white background, are grainy, etc those qualities will print. We can sometimes remove a white background if requested however our program is not 100% and we do not quarantee a perfect removal. If you send a tiny logo and request it in a larger print, it WILL print out grainy and pixilated. We do offer clean up services starting at $15 per hour.
  • DTG printing is done Primarily on 100% cotton shirts
    • While blends up to 50% polyester can be printed they may not come out as cleanly as printing on 100% cotton, and can get staining from pre-treatment solution.
    • We strongly recommend sticking with 100% cotton for best results for this printing method.
  • Color Shirts vs White Shirts
    • ​While white shirts are preferred, color shirts are able to be printed with the DTG method. They do have a slightly different feel as unlike with white shirts, we must use white ink as a base to print on color shirts. Design Colors may come out slightly different as a result of printing on that white base.
  • T-Shirts Vary*
    • ​Since this is done on T-shirts and not Paper like traditional photo prints. All prints can vary. While we do our best to mitigate this there will be variations from shirt to shirt due to the lay of fibers. Even when lint rolled and pressed flat, we use 2 methods one with heat and a smoothing tool, some shirts can have fibers lift up through the print
  • Pre-Treatment
    • We offer pre-treatment for all shirts. Pre-treatment helps create a barrier on the T-Shirt fibers to help the ink sit on top of the shirt for more vibrant color and printing. While we do our best to mitigate this, all pretreatment had the potential to leave a mark or stain when used. While Pre-Treatment is primarily done on color shirts that require white ink, we do offer pre-treatment on White Shirts if requested*. If you would like your white shirt pre-treated please keep in mind Pre-treatment can leave a staining affect and we strongly recommend you wash/rinse your white shirt before wearing outside to prevent UV Yellowing.
