• Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, also known as
  D2 printing, is an apparel decoration method in
  which designs and pictures are printed directly
  onto pre-sewn T-shirts, hats, hoodies, garments,
  shoes, tote bags, pillow covers, and other fabric
  products. Many DTG printers are utilized in
  screen-printing enterprises that embellish higher
  numbers of garments for brands, sports teams, and
  shops.

• What is DTG Printing?
• DTG printing allows screen printers to take on
  tasks with shorter runs and quicker turnaround
  times and embellish garments with changeable data
  or full-color photographic graphics. DTG T-shirt
  printer are also utilized in home-based
  businesses, promotional products companies, and
  gifting shops.
• DTG printing eliminates the need for many
  screens, which means that it may be done in a
  smaller space and without the hassle of frequent
  maintenance. Moreover, the learning curve for DTG
  printing is a little less steep than screen
  printing, particularly for younger creative
  professionals or direct-to-garment printer for
  beginners who have grown up with digital cameras
  and graphics tools.

• How does DTG Function?
• Considering DTG can accurately capture complex
  images on a surface as pliable as a shirt or
  sweater, it is surprising to analyze how simple
  the working function of direct print to garment
  is. DTG is best conceptualized as computer-based
  home printing, except the paper is a shirt.
• The direct-to-garment printer is similar to home
  printers in that they do not require a unique
  setup for each task and can produce infinite
  colors. Some DTG printers are also made by
  businesses that make normal inkjet printers but
  are simply adjusted to fit the increased bulk of
  clothing and employ inkjet textile inks rather
  than the ones you buy for your printer at the
  shop.

• The CMYK color model is utilized in the printing
  process to replicate a computer images colors
  onto fabric accurately. CMYK stands for cyan,
  magenta, yellow, and K for black. For this
  reason, this model is also referred to as
  four-color processing, after the four ink
  colors that are typically combined to form the
  various shades used in the digital layout.
• The inks attach directly to the fibers of the
  garments material, resulting in cotton, a
  fibrous material that is better for DTG printing
  than polyester a much smoother substance. When
  a design is finished, and all the colors have
  been added, the ink is often dried using heat. An
  entire minute may be all it takes to accomplish
  this.

• History of DTG printing
• The technology of Direct-to-Garment printing
  (DTG) emerged in the USA in 1996 with Matthew
  Rhomes first commercial DTG printer, the
  Revolution. Revolutionary for its time,
  stemming from injection printers (1950) that were
  available in every workplace. Rhome started
  exploring if they could print on diverse
  materials besides paper. Matthew Rhome was given
  the first DTG patent in 2000. In 2005 white ink
  was introduced to the market, overcoming the
  difficulty of printing on dark clothes.
