DTG Printing

DTG PRINTING

What is Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing?

DTG Printing is a newer technology that enables high-quality printing of digital files onto a wide range of apparel.

Being a newer technology, it does have its drawbacks, however it also packs a punch when printing Full-Colour images onto garments in a matter of minutes.

We harness several Brother GTX DTG Printers to do all of our DTG printing.
