DTG Printing Sample
Sample & DTG Printing Times
Planning a big run? Ask for a sample. We will print just one garment and send it to you for a stress free approval before printing the rest.
In general, we ask for 7-14 working days to complete your order, however this is due to possible delivery delays not in our control, in most cases we finish your order in just a few days.
Occasionally we open on weekends for urgent orders. Note that extra charge will apply on those days.
*If you supply your own garments, they must contain at least 80% Cotton. We don’t print on POLYESTER. The print is only as smooth as the surface it is printed on, only supply good quality garments for the best end result.

What Is DTG?
DTG stands for “Direct To Garment” printing technique.
Similar to the standard home printers, DTG will print your T-shirt Design directly onto the Garment at 1440 x 1440 Dpi. This allows for a much higher quality results than any other printing technique currently available on the market.
The artwork for DTG printing machines doesn’t require much alteration or expensive machine setup which allows for a much more efficient, faster and cheaper style of printing.
Direct to garment is ideal for Multi colour designs, low number orders and high quality images.
Inks used for direct to garment are water based and Environmentally Friendly as a result your design always feels soft and smooth.
Why use our Services?
Our Experience and Direct to garment.
Together with Vinyl, DTG is the easiest start up business, this means there are many new and “unexperienced” print shops in those 2 fields. This also means a lot of bad online reputation for the Direct to garment industry however, to put it simply, this doesn’t apply to us.
The printers checking your design and printing your order have over 15 years of experience in the field. We do not accept jobs that we cannot print perfectly and we do not ship anything that is not exactly as you would expect it to be.
We care, after all it’s our own reputation on the line.
When choosing to print your garments you have 2 options if you want real ink to be used.
The Ink based printing techniques are Direct to garment and Screen printing. Both of which can get the job done, so choosing the right option for you requires some knowledge, however, knowing the difference will save you a lot of money and help you create exactly what you are looking for.
The major difference between those printing techniques is the price per amount, Direct to garment is suitable for small runs, anything up to 100/200 prints (depends on design), when Screen printing is best for 100/200+ units and can be very expensive when printing small amounts.
To know exactly which is best to print your t-shirts requires more understanding of how those two compare against each others, which is why we wrote a complete guide to help you decide on the right method for your order. Check the link below if you want to know more about those printing techniques.
