WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
The quality of DTG printing is heavily influenced by the garment you choose. To help illustrate the difference, here are examples of a recommended garment versus one we wouldn’t typically suggest:
RECOMMENDED
NOT RECOMMENDED
There are some clear differences between the recommended shirt and the one we don’t suggest. The non-recommended shirt has a rougher texture, leading to less vibrant colours and uneven ink absorption. As a result, the print may appear dull, patchy, or slightly faded compared to the smoother, high-quality garment.
PRICING
DTG printing works best on premium, combed cotton shirts, which are slightly more expensive, typically around £1 to £1.50 more per shirt. However, the smoother fabric ensures sharper detail and more consistent colour vibrancy.
We always aim to provide the highest quality product, but we also understand that budget is a key factor for some clients, especially when shirts are used as promotional items where print quality may not be the top priority. If you prefer a more affordable garment, we can certainly accommodate that. Just keep in mind that a higher quality shirt will generally produce better print results.
