What do we mean by a ready-to-print DTG t-shirt?

Direct textile printing, which is also known as Direct to Garment (DTG) printing, is among the most innovative technologies of the textile printing sector. It enables graphics to be printed directly on a ready-to-print DTG t-shirt using a high-definition printer. This technique is highly appreciated for its quality finish, the durability that it brings to garments as well as the precision of its lines.

RTP APPAREL, a specialist in graphic textiles, also supplies a wide range of pretreated ready-to-print organic cotton t-shirts to enable you to benefit from the many advantages of this innovative technology.

How does Direct to Garment printing work?

Direct to Garment (DTG) printing means that printing is done directly on the clothing because the ink is projected onto the DTG t-shirt.
This method was invented in the United States in 1996, when the first DTG printer was invented by Matthew Rhome. It was immediately seen as being truly revolutionary. From a technical point of view, Direct to Garment printing consists in projecting very fine droplets of colour in an extremely precise way onto a textile. The droplets are then absorbed by the fibres of the ready-to-print DTG t-shirt. This is followed by different steps to produce the final t-shirt: adjustment of the design and the machine, manual positioning of the garment, printing and fixing the graphic on the t-shirt in a drying tunnel.
