Search DirectoryDTG excels at photographic and complex multi-color designs, while screen printing produces more vibrant solid colors. DTG has a softer hand feel, but screen printing is generally more durable for heavy wear.
Yes! DTG printers use white ink as a base layer on dark garments. However, this requires pre-treatment and additional printing time, making dark garment printing more expensive.
With proper care (washing inside out in cold water, tumble dry low), DTG prints can last 50+ washes. The longevity depends on garment quality, ink quality, and proper curing.
DTG is one of the most eco-friendly printing methods. It uses water-based inks, produces minimal waste, requires no screens or chemicals, and enables on-demand production to reduce overstock.
