Direct-to-garment printing (DTG) is a process in which specially designed ink is directly printed onto and into the material fibers, bonded with a bonding agent. This means there is ink sitting on-top of the fabric and will have a slight feeling to it - very much like a standard screen printed design. Any dark material will require a white base under the colored design which will make the design look slightly faded, a vintage effect. This printing method produces a lighter, more breathable design - perfect for t-shirts with large designs. Fine details and gradients work great here as well.

Generally, with proper care, DTG prints can last for a long time without fading or cracking. It’s not uncommon for a well-maintained DTG-printed shirt to last for several years.

CARE: Machine-wash cold, inside-out, on a gentle cycle and hang-dry or tumble-dry on low. See FAQ for more information.

Our direct-to-garment digital printers use water-based vegan inks that the printer manufacturer itself formulates, tests, and produces in its own ink factories, maintaining the highest quality. The inks are non-hazardous, toxin-free, biodegradable, and contain no animal by-products.
