THE PROCESS

STEP #1: ARTWORK PREPARATION: Once artwork has been submitted, it’s checked to identify and correct any issues that may negatively impact the printed result. This includes a check for compression artifacts, color profiling, and color correction to ensure that it pairs well with the selected garment color.

STEP #2: PRINTING: The design is printed onto the garment using an inkjet printer that has been specifically designed for DTG printing. Specialized inks created for fabrics are used and produce high-quality prints in a wide range of colors.

STEP #3: FABRIC & PRETREATING: Before DTG printing, the garment is pre-treated with a solution that helps the ink bond to the fabric. This is commonly done using a machine that sprays liquid onto the fabric.

STEP #4: CURING / HEAT PRESSING: After the design has been printed, the garment must be cured to set the ink and make it permanent. This is typically done using a heat press, which applies heat and pressure to the garment to fix the ink in place.

BENEFITS OF DIRECT-TO-FILM-PRINTING

PRINTED DIRECTLY TO CLOTHING: Direct-to-garment, or DTG printing, is a method that sprays ink onto garments and is similar to printing on paper. DTG printing technique is an excellent option for those who want to add complex, multi-color designs on t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, and other similar fabric items.

VIBRANT COLORS: DTG-printed designs soak into the clothing fibers, that way the prints: 

Don’t sit on top of the fabric 

Remain uncracked over time 

Aren’t stiff and feel comfortable for the wearer

EFFICIENT PRINTING WITH WATER-BASED VEGAN INKS: At Kioko, DTG designs are printed using non-toxic vegan inks that ensure the garments are safe for adults and children. Have your designs printed with machines that are energy-efficient, produce zero wastewater, and are a sustainable choice for your brand.

KIOKO prints in RGB color profiles although we use a CMYK printer which allows for millions of colors to be produced. There is no limitation on color when printing DTG. It is recommended that you use a PANTONE color chart to match artwork colors for printing. If matching the exact Pantone of your artwork is super important to you, this can be achieved with DTG. The main thing to keep in mind is that your colors might not come out exactly as expected. Different fabrics, material make up, and colors take ink differently and there are a lot of variables with the settings that can affect the output color. The better quality the garment the better the print.

When you first receive a shirt with a DTG print, it’s going to have a bit of shine from the pre-treat. After the first wash, when the pre-treat comes off, the print will look more natural and the “waxy” appearance will disappear. DTG has a long lifespan and that is why it is the primary choice of most apparel decorators.
