Share
DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing is one of the most versatile and high-resolution decoration methods available — but it’s often misunderstood. Below are the top 10 questions customers ask us at Inkdnylon Custom Apparel when considering DTG for their project.
1. What is DTG printing?
Direct-to-Garment printing uses advanced inkjet technology to print full-color graphics directly onto garments. It's perfect for short runs, photo-level detail, and soft-feel prints.
2. What are your prices for DTG printing?
- Left Chest Imprint: $9.99 each
- Full Front (White Garment): $9.99 each
- Full Front (Dark Garment): $12.49 each
- Hoodies: $14.99 each
12-piece minimum per order.
3. What’s the minimum order for DTG?
We require a 12-piece minimum per design for all DTG orders. You can mix garment sizes within that quantity.
4. Can I mix sizes and garments in the same order?
Yes! As long as the artwork and print location are the same, you can mix sizes and compatible garment types.
5. Do you accept customer-supplied garments?
No — to ensure print quality, Inkdnylon only decorates garments sourced through our verified suppliers. This ensures compatibility with our DTG printers.

7. Can you print on dark shirts?
Yes — we pre-treat dark garments for full-color DTG printing. This ensures a bright, durable print, especially on hoodies, black tees, and rich tones.
8. How long does DTG printing take?
Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days. Rush service is available depending on garment type and stock. Contact us at 888‑824‑6536 or 773‑200‑5596 to check availability.
9. What’s the difference between DTG and screen printing?
DTG is ideal for full-color, photographic detail, and small runs. Screen printing is best for 1–3 color designs and large-volume runs.
10. Is DTG safe for sensitive skin?
Yes — we use water-based, eco-friendly inks that are safe and soft to the touch. Ideal for baby garments, fashion prints, or anyone who prefers no heavy print feel.
