Printer: why use a T-shirt for printing rather than having to prepare it yourself?
"Direct to Garment" or DTG is a very sophisticated digital printing technique which allows you to print all kinds of visuals, such as texts, images or logos, on a variety of textile supports. These are printed directly on the fabric, with the inks reacting to heat and deeply impregnating the mesh of the garment. Whether it's on a light or dark garment, the rendering is incredible and the result spectacular in terms of both the precision of the detail and the colour brightness. For professionals with a high-definition DTG printer, it's now possible to respond to growing public demand and attract new customers by offering a wide range of t-shirts for printing which can be personalised in an infinite number of ways.
Features of print-ready T-shirts
The technique of direct printing on textiles is mainly suitable for cotton products, ideal for patterns with a lot of details and colours as well as for large personalisation surfaces, and is recommended for small and medium series. It makes it possible to permanently apply any type of visual directly to the fabric with a high-quality and precise rendering. The printed image doesn't crack and remains intact, even after multiple washes.
Besides the longevity and precision of the details, the other characteristic of a T-shirt for printing is the pretreatment. Thanks to a fixing liquid, the adhesion of ink and colours as well as the reproduction of patterns is significantly improved. For professionals such as printers, retail businesses or theme shops, this means real savings in time and productivity by simplifying the printing process.
Advantages of the T-shirt for printing for printers
The innovative digital textile printing technology makes everyday life easier for printers by eliminating the pre-treatment step. It offers the possibility of printing on demand in stores while working in a healthy and reduced working environment. There are many advantages of DTG:
Printable complex visuals, accuracy of detail.
