The Inside Scoop on DTG Printing
What DTG Printing Isn’t
DTG printing with TS Designs isn’t a catchall for those who want cheap and fast, who don’t care about the environmental impact of the clothes we wear, or who don’t care where those clothes were made.
What DTG Printing Is
DTG printing with TS Designs is a go-to solution for those who need small volumes of t-shirts, want to buy sustainable apparel that’s made in the USA, and are willing to pay the extra price for it.
How DTG Printing Works
First
We apply a water-based pre-treatment chemical that acts like a primer for the waterbased inks. We are taking advantage of our garment dyehouse and have set up a small prototype system by making a closed loop washing machine to apply the pre-treatment chemical, extract and dry before bringing back to TS Designs. This assures an overall and consistent application and eliminates the sometimes ghosting of the chemical residue that can be left on the shirt.
Next
We print with a digital, direct-to-garment water-based ink system. The t-shirts then run down a dryer that was custom built for water-based inks.
By the way, a big shout-out to Tom Sineath, retired founder of TS Designs! With the help of Keith, our dyehouse and maintenance manager, they designed and built the necessary and environmentally controlled room for the DTG equipment.
DTG printing aligns with our treehugging values… and yours!
You can stay true to your company’s sustainability initiatives and still get smaller volume orders of US-made t-shirts without having to wait around for weeks on end.
Sustainability Commitment
