Direct to Garment (DTG)
Direct To Garment printing, also known as DTG, is great for those looking to create small orders with unlimited colours. Using eco-friendly water based inks, we provide a print that is colourful, photo accurate, and washes great when cared for correctly.
Direct to Garment, or DTG printing is an electronic printing process that is very similar to an ink jet printer. It applies a specially formulated water-based fabric ink directly onto the garment, using inkjet technology. The garment absorbs the inks into the fibers, creating a softer feel to the traditional method of screen printing.
DTG prints are not quite as durable as traditional screen printing due to the ultra fine layer of ink compared to a plastisol print.
Digital printing requires less setup than screen printing and has no color limitation. Typically best suited for short runs under 100, or prints featuring images of high detail and multiple colors.
We only print on our tested AS Colour range of garments.

There is a major difference when printing on white garments to coloured garments:
-
In order to be able to print on a coloured garment, we first have to spray the garment with a pre treatment solution that provides the white ink something to stick to. We then print a layer of white ink, followed by the colour layer.
-
Because of this, colours do tend to look much brighter than those designs printed directly onto a white garment.
-
When we print on a white garment, the cotton absorbs the ink which means it cannot be as vibrant as solid layers of ink, the upside is the softness.
-
We do not pretreat or print white ink onto white t-shirts.
We have samples in our showroom for you to choose the best print method for your design.
-
The longevity of your tee and prints is largely up to you.
To ensure you get as much wear out of them as possible please follow these instructions carefully.-
Cold gentle wash inside out
-
Do not tumble dry (dry it inside on the coat hanger…no ironing necessary)
-
If you must iron, iron inside out
-
Do not dry in direct sunlight
-
Do NOT use fabric softeners or bleach like products - this will strip the print.
If you follow these instructions - your print should last for up to 30 washes
-
We don't print white ink on white garments.- any designs containing white will have areas with no print on them.
We do not DTG onto certain coloured tees that are know to present unexpected results.
There might be slight discrepancies in print placement., we are only human after all.
DTG printing can fade over time (expect 10-20% for white tshirts - 5-10% for coloured tees)
Direct to Film (DTF)
Direct to Film or DTF is the NEWEST method to hit the garment printing industry.
This technology allows us to create quality, detailed, colourful, and ultra durable prints.
Due to it’s versatility, we can print on all types of materials including tees, polo's, hats, bags, pants and stretchy goods, resulting in a soft and light hand-feel.
