DIRECT TO GARMENT PRINTING Printing sustainably since 2006

All DTG prints require a pretreatment to be applied and cured to the garment before it is printed. The pretreat bonds to the fabric, the ink to the pretreat. Black and white tees pretreat and print beautifully but some colours are not as compatible with this process/application. Some of these are below:

Pink Joy, Birght Blues, Bright Greens, Khaki, Bright Orange, Ochre etc.

This is not an exhaustive list so please get in touch if you are thinking about placing a bulk order and what to check the colour first.

Natural Raw is cotton in its purest form - untreated, undyed, and naturally distinctive. It has more loose fibres than other colours and as the ink bonds to the fibre of the garments, Natural Raw products, especially DTG printed can show print 'fading' in a shorted time than all other colours. It can also be more affected by wash cycle and detergents than other colours. If you are happy with the print potentially showing a softening/aging of the print after the first few washes then DTG and Natural Raw can have a beautiful finish. If you want the print to stay bold and strong then we recommend other print methods.
