Direct to garment, or DTG, is a textile printing method. Unlike other printing methods, such as heat transfer or dye sublimation, DTG printing uses water based ink in order to print directly onto the garment, using a DTG Printer.

dtg loves cotton!
The more cotton your garment has, the better the results with DTG. Below shows a pink shirt that is made of 100% cotton vs the tan garment which is a blend that contains less than 50% cotton. The same design file was used to print both garments. So keep in mind that your garment material & color as well as your design colors will affect the look of the final printed piece.
