DTG Direct to Garment Printing

Cole Apparel employs an experienced in-house team of digital printing masterminds and graphic artists to deliver custom solutions with consistent quality and reliability. DTG requires no set-up unlike other traditional printing methods, such as screen printing. This is a huge advantage, as small orders can be created and shipped almost immediately.

You should consider going with DTG over screen printing in several instances:

1. Your artwork has a lot of colors. If you want to do a small run of a graphic with a lot of colors (like a photograph for instance), you’ll definitely save money by printing the job with DTG. With screen printing, every color in your artwork needs to be burned into a screen, taking time and money. You don’t have to worry about the number of colors with DTG.

2. You are doing one-off-printing or fulfillment. If you have an e-commerce platform and don’t want to hold inventory, you will want to look into fulfillment printing. We can connect to your website’s API and fulfill orders as they are placed. In this case, DTG is the best method because every print is a one-off.

3. You have a small quantity rush job. When you are printing small quantities, DTG is usually faster than screen printing because there is no production set up. With DTG, the printer won’t have to burn screens or mix ink. They just load a shirt and print.

4. You need a sample. DTG is great for sampling styles before doing a full production run. If you decide to do a big run of a certain piece, you can then switch to screen printing.
