Perfect Textile Solutions recently launched the latest GENEXT brand direct to garment printing (DTG). It has revolutionised the apparel industry and updated the creation of graphics on clothing for the digital age. Now, instead of costly screen-printing, designers and manufacturers can create digital artwork and print it directly on a garment using a DTG machine.
The DTG printing process isn’t much more involved than printing on paper—your design is sent from a computer to the DTG machine, and the printer does the rest. The machine uses an Epson digital piezoprinthead to print images directly onto garments. The DTG printing process makes them more easily affordable for small quantities.
In DTG printing, any array of vibrant colours can be used, and the process of printing a simple design isn’t any different than printing a complex, detailed graphic. DTG printing is even able to handle printing photographs on garments with crisp, clear results. This versatility can result in increased profits, with customers creating hats, bags, and other items to complement the t-shirts they order.
DTG pigment printing can print-on-demand, eliminating waste from unsold stock. Overproduction is endemic in the textile industry, but DTG printers help stop this. In addition, the inks used by DTG printers are water-based and eco-friendly, reducing your operation’s environmental footprint. DTG benefits the entire planet.
DTG printing makes it easy to create quality printed garments without having to hire a team of employees. The same person who takes the order can print the garments and prepare them for delivery.
Thanks to their RIP (Raster Image Processor), any major DTG system can print any picture from full graphic images to any type of vector.
DTG systems offer their customers different options to print over T-shirts (various sizes), shoes, hats, towels, and masks, and depending on your application, some companies also focus on developing customized applications needed.
It is worth mentioning that in low volumes, let’s say less than 100 shirts per model or design, DTG printing will have a lower cost of printing per unit than the traditional screen printing process.
Fewer costs involved in the process means more savings using this technology. The machine also comes with double-head printing to increase machine production.
Since this niche has been evolving consistently over the last ten years, the market offers different printer levels, from entry-level to industrial solutions. Moreover, this GENEXT DTG technology has seen an upward trend in consistency, quality, and high performance—the future for sure looks digital.
Thanks to its multiple applications in different kinds of textile garments (T-shirts, caps, shoes, bags, etc.) and other textile products like towels, pillowcases, and even canvas for art reproductions, it is one of the best printing technologies to expand your present business.
