DIRECT TO GARMENT
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
When your design demands full color, fine detail, or a soft-hand feel, DTG printing is your go-to solution. Perfect for small batches, e-commerce drops, or one-off pieces, this cutting-edge digital method allows us to print high-resolution images directly onto cotton garments—no setup required.
WHAT IS DTG PRINTING?
Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing is a modern digital printing technique that allows full-color, high-resolution images to be printed directly onto textiles, much like printing on paper. Using water-based inks, DTG penetrates the fabric’s fibers, resulting in soft, breathable prints that maintain detail and vibrancy. At EDGE, our DTG machines are calibrated for color accuracy and fine detail, capable of handling photographic prints, gradients, and complex artwork that traditional methods struggle to replicate.
WHAT IS DTG BEST FOR?
DTG is perfect for low to mid-volume orders where design complexity is high and setup costs need to stay low. It shines when producing intricate designs, full-color images on light colored or white garments, and custom one-offs that would be cost-prohibitive with screen printing. DTG works best on 100% cotton garments and is ideal for print-on-demand services, limited-edition releases, and small batch orders ranging from a single piece to around 75 units.
IS DTG RIGHT FOR ME?
If you’re launching a new brand, offering limited drops, or fulfilling custom online orders, DTG offers the flexibility and quality you need without requiring high minimums. It’s especially well-suited to e-commerce models where variety and quick turnaround are essential. For orders from 1-75 units with vibrant, photo-like designs, DTG delivers top-tier results.
