Overview

Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing uses specialized inkjet heads to apply water‑based inks directly onto fabric, producing photographic-quality images ideal for small runs, on-demand orders, and complex color gradients. Machines differ by platen size, print-head type, white-ink handling, built-in or standalone pretreatment, and RIP software. Buyers should weigh throughput, garment compatibility, ink and pretreatment costs, and service/support when choosing a DTG for production or sample work.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a DTG printer?

Confirm platen sizes, print-head model and spare availability, white-ink circulation, RIP software compatibility, production speed (ppm or garments/hour), and whether pretreatment is integrated or external.

How important is pretreatment and how is it handled?

Essential for white-ink adhesion on dark garments. Some DTG units have built-in pretreaters; others require a separate sprayer or automated system. Check throughput and chemical compatibility.

What are typical shipping and installation requirements?

DTG printers are heavy and sensitive — use crated shipping, lift equipment for placement, stable power (often 120/240V dedicated lines), proper ventilation, and a flat, vibration-free surface. Arrange professional rigging and installation.

What routine maintenance should I plan for?

Daily nozzle checks and head cleanings, regular capping‑station maintenance, periodic head alignments and ink system flushing, and keeping the platen and sensors clean. Follow vendor service schedules.

How do consumables and spare parts affect operating costs?

Ink (especially white), pretreatment fluid, print-heads, capping seals and maintenance kits are primary costs. Verify vendor pricing, yield estimates, and local parts/support availability before buying.
