Hi everyone,
I’ve been hearing a lot about direct-to-garment (DTG) printers, but I’m not entirely sure what they are or how they actually work. From what I understand, they print designs directly onto fabric, but I’d like a clearer explanation of the process.
Can anyone explain how a DTG printer works step by step? For example, what kind of inks are used, how the design is applied to the garment, and whether any pre-treatment is required?
Also, how does DTG printing compare to other methods like DTF or screen printing in terms of quality, durability, and cost?
I’d really appreciate any beginner-friendly explanations, tips, or real-world experiences.
Thanks in advance!
