Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Direct-To-Garment printing?
A: DTG is a sophisticated color printing process on textiles using specialized aqueous inkjet technology. The inks are sprayed onto the fabric, similar to how large format printers operate.
Q: What type of shirts can I use with this?
A: DTG printing is compatible only with 100% cotton shirts. However, we offer a variety of other customization techniques suitable for different fabrics. Our experienced team is ready to help you choose the best option for your needs.
Q: Can we use dark colors with DTG?
A: Absolutely! At AlphaGraphics Park Cities | North Dallas, we proudly utilize a 5-color printing process (CMYK + White) which surpasses the typical industry standard of CMYK. The addition of white ink enables us to produce vibrant, full-color designs on dark shirts.
Q: How much more does it cost per color on my shirt?
A: With DTG, pricing is based on the size of the artwork rather than the number of colors used. This allows our team to create designs that are as colorful and detailed as you envision without additional costs per color.
