DTG - Direct To Garment

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing That Delivers

For soft, full-color prints on low-quantity runs, nothing beats Direct-to-Garment (DTG). At Screenplay, we’ve dialed in the process to give you vivid, detailed prints with unbeatable comfort—perfect for short runs, samples, or full-color art that screen printing can’t easily replicate.

What Is DTG Printing?

DTG uses high-resolution inkjet technology to print directly onto garments—think of it like a printer for your t-shirt. The result is incredible detail, smooth gradients, and rich color, all with a soft hand feel that wears like it’s part of the fabric.

Why Choose DTG at Screenplay?

We don’t settle for average. Our DTG process has been optimized with professional-grade equipment, top-tier pre-treatment techniques, and the expertise of a team who knows apparel inside and out.

Here’s what sets our DTG apart:

🎨 Photographic Detail – Perfect for artwork with fine lines, gradients, and color blends

👕 Soft Touch – Prints feel like part of the fabric, not heavy or plastic-y

💧 Eco-Friendly Water-Based Inks – Vibrant, safe, and sustainable

🔁 No Minimums – Print one shirt or one hundred—no screens or setup fees

💼 Great for Samples & On-Demand – Ideal for events, e-commerce, and quick-turn projects

Best Uses for DTG

DTG is ideal for:

  • Full-color artwork and photo prints
  • Short runs or one-off designs
  • E-commerce brands with on-demand fulfillment
  • Personalization (names, custom messages, etc.)
  • Cotton or cotton-blend garments

For the best results, we recommend 100% cotton garments—but we’re happy to help you select the right blanks for your job.

When to Choose DTG Over Screen Printing or DTF

  • DTG: Best for small runs, detailed artwork, or softer prints
  • DTF: Great for a wide range of materials and bold prints
  • Screen Printing: Ideal for large runs and spot-color logos
