In the competitive world of apparel production, there's a need to balance cost, quality, and flexibility. At GoFast Racewear, we believe in offering the best to our customers. That's why we use Direct To Garment (DTG) printing for our products. In this blog, we're going to discuss why DTG printing holds an edge over traditional screen printing and heat transfer methods.
For starters, screen printing comes with a significant set-up cost and is best suited for large orders. The process involves creating screens for each color used in the design, which can be both costly and time-consuming. If you're not ordering hundreds of shirts, the price per unit can be prohibitively high.
On the other hand, DTG printing has no such limitations. Whether you want a single shirt or a small batch, DTG allows for on-demand printing without any extra set-up cost. The technology prints designs directly onto the fabric, saving time, reducing costs, and offering greater flexibility. You can print as few or as many shirts as you want without worrying about expensive setup or minimum quantity requirements.
When comparing DTG to heat transfer, the benefits become even more apparent. Heat transfer involves pressing a design onto a garment using high heat. While this method might be suitable for simple designs, it often falls short when it comes to reproducing intricate patterns or a wide range of colors. Additionally, the quality of the print is usually less durable and can peel or crack over time.
DTG excels in these aspects. The technology can reproduce high-resolution designs with a broad color spectrum, capturing every intricate detail. The print is also directly absorbed into the fabric, ensuring a soft, seamless feel that's comfortable to wear. DTG printed shirts stand up to washing better than heat transferred shirts, maintaining their vibrant colors for a long time.
At GoFast Racewear, we value quality, durability, and flexibility, and Direct To Garment printing lets us deliver on all these fronts. It allows us to provide premium apparel without any compromises, whether you're ordering one piece or a hundred. In the fast-paced world of racewear, we go fast, but never at the expense of quality. DTG is our trusted partner in this race, and we hope this explanation helps you understand why.
