How To Create a Great DTG T-Shirt?


 

Being in the industry for quite a long time, we receive a lot of queries from beginners as well as the future entrepreneurs who plan to set-up their own apparel printing business with DTG printers. Since most people inquire about ‘how to make a great DTG t-shirt?’ we though to cover this particular topic in this blog to spread the awareness and help future business owners print better results with their DTG printing machines.

 

DTG stands for Direct to Garment. This is a technology and a process where a garment is placed into the printer, just like the paper in your regular printer, and a set of heads move over the particular piece of garment to print the design across the garment. The print design is preset by the programmer in a computer. Rather than pushing the ink through the screen, DTG printers follow a different approach where the DTG inks are printed on the fabric in the similar way to the process used to print a document in an ink jet printer.

 

So, here what you must keep in mind to create an amazing piece of printed t-shirt with DTG printing technology:

 

Prepare the fabric – Before you proceed to put the fabric on the DTG direct t shirt printer, it is very important to prepare the fabric. The process is called pre-treatment. In most of the cases, people skip this process, but the fact is that this step can make a huge difference to the final print quality. Whether it is a plain white/black or colored t-shirt, it is very important to follow this step for better results.

 

Choose the right file type – Quite often, there may be incidents when you can’t find the appropriate file type of the design that you want to print on a fabric. Just like screen printing technology, you can’t make a proper under-base when the file has white around the image. It is important to remove the backgrounds so there’s transparency around the image, making it possible to deliver better print quality.

 

Adjust your image resolution – When looking for the designs online, it is not possible that you will get the appropriate image size all the times. Sometimes it may be too large or too small for the print. So, the first thing you want to do is to change the image size and up-sample the image to 200 to 300 dpi and make it the correct physical size. This may seem like a small step, but it can make a huge difference.

 

So, if you are planning to start your own business with DTG printers and would like to deliver better results, following the above-mentioned steps is the right choice to make to ensure complete client satisfaction. Remember that people will love using your t-shirts only if they find them adorable and attractive. It is only possible to make them loved is to print great designs on the t-shirt fabrics with the right process and careful methods for the DTG printing.
