Introduction to DTG Printing Technology

In the evolving world of custom apparel, Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing has revolutionized how businesses approach t-shirt and fabric printing. DTG printers offer high-resolution, full-color designs printed directly onto garments using specialized textile inks. This method provides unparalleled quality, especially for small-batch or on-demand production.

GNFEI’s A3 DTG printer is specifically engineered for businesses seeking precision, reliability, and flexibility in t-shirt printing. This blog will introduce the key features, benefits, and application scenarios of this printer and why it’s ideal for entrepreneurs and small garment brands.


What Is a DTG Printer?

A DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printer is a specialized machine that applies water-based pigment inks directly to textiles using inkjet technology. The process allows users to print complex designs, gradients, and photographic images onto cotton fabrics without the need for screens or setup time.

GNFEI’s A3 DTG printer supports high-resolution output and features a compact desktop design, making it suitable for studios, print shops, and home-based businesses.

How to Use the A3 DTG Printer

    For darker shirts, apply a pre-treatment solution to ensure ink adhesion and vibrancy.

  3. Position the Garment:
    Place the t-shirt flat on the printer tray to avoid misalignment.
