WHAT IS DIRECT TO
GARMENT PRINTING?
Direct to Garment (DTG) printing is an advanced method of printing on textiles and clothing using specialized inkjet technology. Similar to how an inkjet printer prints on paper, DTG prints directly onto fabric — creating high-quality, vibrant designs that are long-lasting and easy to care for.
One of the major advantages of direct to garment printing is its flexibility for smaller orders. At VS Tees, our minimum order requirement is 48–74 pieces per approved design. DTG printing allows for highly detailed designs including photographs, gradients, and intricate graphics. Whether you're designing custom apparel for a clothing line or need personalized prints for an event, DTG is the perfect solution.
Photo-Quality Detail
Reproduces photographs, gradients, and intricate graphics with precision that screen printing cannot match.
Flexible Quantities
Minimum 48–74 pieces per approved design — ideal for smaller runs without setup costs or screen fees.
Unlimited Colors
No color separation needed. Full-spectrum printing means your design prints exactly as designed.
Soft Hand Feel
Water-based inks absorb into the fabric fibers — no heavy plastisol layer, just a smooth, breathable finish.

DOES DTG USE?
Direct to Garment (DTG) printing utilizes water-based inks composed of pigments suspended in a water-based solution. Unlike traditional screen printing inks that are solvent-based, DTG inks are more eco-friendly and safe for textiles.
One of the biggest benefits of water-based inks is their minimal environmental impact. They do not emit harmful fumes or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like solvent-based inks — making them a greener option for direct to garment t-shirt printing.
Additionally, water-based inks provide a broader spectrum of colors compared to traditional screen printing inks. Their translucent quality enhances color depth and vibrancy, resulting in bright, eye-catching prints.
Water-based DTG inks are highly versatile — compatible with cotton, polyester, and blends. Ideal for printing on t-shirts, hoodies, bags, and hats. For anyone searching for direct to garment near me, VS Tees offers high-quality eco-friendly printing solutions in Los Angeles.
