What we understand by digital printing on T-shirts?

digital-sample Digital printing or direct to garment printing (DTG) as it is sometimes known as is a relatively new concept and works in the same way as an inkjet printer, but we use t-shirts instead of paper.tshirt-printing-5.jpg-nggid03105-ngg0dyn-300x290x100-00f0w010c010r110f110r010t010

What basically sets it apart from other printing processes we use for garments is that it can produce much higher resolution prints, making it great for replicating detailed images onto your t-shirt. What is interesting is that It also has no set-up and is perfect for low numbers – the minimum order is just one!

Our company has over 5 years’ experience of printing digitally and have recently upgraded our machinery to the latest versions. This has also enabled us to produce superb results for our customers.  The quality of the all over print shirts has a direct effect on the quality of the prints that can be achieved, and every t-shirt will print in a different way. But at the moment 100% cotton t-shirts are a must but things are moving as ink manufacturers develop new ink and we hope to be able to print onto 100% polyester very soon. The T-shirts with the tighter weave will also give you the best results, so we recommend staying away from the very cheapest end of our range. Keep in mind that cheaper digital machines are limited to printing onto white t-shirts and also limited in size of print, we don’t have such limitations and we print on all colors of shirts.

One great advantage of digital t-shirt printing is the softness of the print onto dark shirts, this can make a massive difference to the feel of the shirt if your design uses a large block of colour.

With digital printing the print will have always vary depending on the brand and type of t-shirt we print on and we can advise you on this, depending on your design and budget. The all over screen printing t-shirts will give superb prints.
