Thanks to modern technology, it is now also possible to digitally print designs on your apparel. This process is known as direct to garment or DTG printing and is great for printing more intricate designs and photos to the clothing. In order to print via this method, the desired image must be produced on a computer or transferred to one, before it is printed directly onto the garment of choice, hence the name. While this method is great for printing high quality images, DTG is most suitable for smaller t-shirt orders due to the fact that only one item can be printed at a time.
DTG is also less cost effective than screen printing, with printers usually charging more per item compared to screen printing. So if you’re looking for a small number of Wordans wholesale t-shirts printed with someone's portrait for your family or group of friends, dtg printing is for you.
Hybrid DTG Printing
You may also find some printers offering digital hybrid printing, which combines both screen printing and DTG. There are many benefits to this method such as greater scope for design, greater productivity, fewer mistakes and quicker preparation. However, advanced machinery equipped with the latest technology is required for hybrid printing, making it an expensive method more suited to large scale printers. When ordering customized products with Wordans, your sales rep will inform you of the best method for your requirements.
