Myths About Direct-To-Garment Printing




DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing is the process of printing artwork or graphics directly onto garments. The name of DTG printing describes the entire process involved in the printing method. With the help of DTG printers, textile manufacturers or resellers can easily produce a number of patterns and designs on different fabrics.

But, there are many myths involved with DTG printing like DTG inks don’t last longer or DTG pretreatment solutions are time consuming. To clear the fog from the myths, we’ve created this article to debunk the most common myths about Direct-to-Garment printing.

White Ink Used In DTG Printing Always Clogs
This is one of the most common myths about DTG printing technology and the process. However, the fact here is clogging of DTG inks is actually associated with the printer maintenance and its surrounding environment. There is no link of any particular color with clogging here. Your DTG printers need regular maintenance.

So, it is recommended to do regular printer repairs and maintenance work for smoother and shinier printing. Maintenance of DTG printers is very simple but equally critical for avoiding ink clogging. It also helps enhance the life of your printers, especially its printer heads.

You Cannot Wash DTG-Printed Clothes
Many people often associate this myth with DTG printing just because the artwork on fabrics is not stitched. The fact here is that DTG printed clothes are highly washable and the designs last longer on the textiles. All that you need to take care for the better washing quality is ideal pre-treatment and cure. DTG printing is a water-based solution so it is important to follow the washing methods that are suitable for DTG-printed clothes.

According to the industry standard, DTG printing comes with 50 washings, making it one of the most effective methods of fabric printing.

DTG Printing is Only Ideal For Polyester Fabrics
It is a fact that DTG printers can produce great prints on the cotton fabrics, but it also has the ability to create similar quality designs on the blended cotton textiles. Apart from this, DTG printing has very good impact when printing on some type of polyester fabrics too. Although it’s not that used on polyester. The only challenge businesses face here is the color printing, which must be selected carefully for the different types of fabrics.

DTG Printing is Too Slow
It’s one of the most common myths, but it’s not at all the truth. In fact, if you need to print 500 shirts using DTG printing, it is simply possible and convenient as it can print the artwork on the fabrics in a relatively shorter time period. In contrast to the preparation and setup times, used for other printing methods, DTG printing seems quite faster and more convenient choice.

Apart from all the fact about DTG printing technology, it is one of the most cost effective and quality-oriented method and the credit goes to the latest technology used on the DTG printers and the water-based DTG inks that make things happen.
