Direct To Garment

We can print your custom design onto 1 or more garments

DTG Benefit

DTG’s greatest benefits are due to there being no setup for printing the garment (unlike screen printing which requires significant set-up). DTG easily allows for 1 piece order capability.

Emergency Threads has printed single shirts and up to 40 shirts of the same design. Since obtaining our DTG setup we have printed approximately 300 shirts!

DTG Process

To print DTG, the design for the shirt is created using graphic design software then transferred into the DTG Printer RIP software. Once printed onto the shirt, the ink is then “heat pressed” onto the garment and has a similar durability as screen printed shirts.

DTG Apparel

Emergency Threads limits our DTG printing to 100% cotton apparel, which provides for the best image quality. We can print on light or dark fabric types, with or without white ink.

DTG Garment Care

Due to the specialized ink used in Direct to Garment printing, it is strongly recommended that DTG garments be washed inside out with cold water and tumble dried on low heat.

Each DTG garment printed by Emergency Threads has washing instructions attached.
