What is direct to garment (DTG) printing?

DTG printing uses specialized inkjet technology to print directly onto fabric — similar to how a printer prints on paper. It produces vibrant, photo-quality designs with unlimited colors and no setup fees per color.

What is the minimum order for DTG printing at VS Tees?

Our minimum order is 48–74 pieces per approved design. DTG is well-suited for smaller runs compared to screen printing, making it ideal for limited editions, events, and clothing brands.

What fabrics work best for DTG printing?

DTG works best on 100% cotton fabrics. It also works on cotton-poly blends, though higher polyester content can reduce color vibrancy. Pre-treatment is applied to dark garments to ensure ink adhesion.

How long does DTG printing take?

How much does DTG printing cost?

DTG pricing depends on garment type, quantity, design complexity, and number of print locations. Unlike screen printing, there are no per-color setup fees. Fill out our free quote form for detailed pricing within 1 business day.

Is DTG printing durable? How do I care for DTG prints?

DTG prints are durable with proper care. Wash garments inside out in cold water, tumble dry on low heat, and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Following these steps keeps your prints vibrant for years.

What is the difference between DTG and screen printing?

Screen printing uses ink pushed through a stencil — ideal for bold colors and bulk orders of 48+ pieces with a limited number of colors. DTG prints directly onto fabric using inkjet technology, making it better for photographic images, full-color gradients, and smaller runs. VS Tees offers both.
