Tips:
- Use solid colors instead of semi‑transparent ones - Soft, see‑through areas don't print well with DTG. Stick with solid colors.
- Start with the right resolution from the beginning - Just typing a higher number into the file won't help. If it's blurry, rebuild it.
- Use true transparency on black garments - Black ink can turn gray when printed on black shirts. Leave those areas fully transparent.
- Skip thin, perfect borders - A tight border may warp slightly during printing. Avoid it for a clean finish.
DTG Disclaimers
- White ink on white garments – We do not print white ink on white garments.
- Minor stains or discoloration – Any light discoloration or small stains near the printed image will disappear after the first wash.
