Direct-to-Garment Printing (DTG)
Pellegrino Printers is renowned for its expertise in Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing, known for its superior process and high-quality finished products.
What is DTG Printing?
DTG is a digital printing method that applies designs directly onto fabrics like t-shirts, crewnecks, and other clothing items. Using specialized inkjet printers, DTG prints directly onto the fabric surface. The process begins with pre-treating the fabric with a special solution to enhance ink adhesion. The fabric is then loaded into the printer, and the design is printed using specialized inks. These inks absorb into the fabric fibers, creating a soft, durable print that resists cracking or peeling.
Benefits of DTG Printing:
-
High-Quality and Detailed Prints: Ideal for intricate designs and photographic images with a wide color range, including gradients and shades.
-
Customizable Small Runs: Perfect for small quantities without the need for physical printing plates or screens.
-
Speed and Efficiency: Faster turnaround compared to traditional methods.
-
Environmental Friendliness: Produces less waste and avoids the use of toxic chemicals.
Limitations of DTG Printing:
-
Cost: Generally more expensive for large print runs compared to traditional methods.
-
Color Fastness: May not be as high as other techniques, especially on darker fabrics.
Pellegrino Printers has received numerous awards for its DTG printing techniques, reflecting our commitment to quality.
