When we need DTG printing for our business?

Digital decorating is in most of our futures — a fact that's becoming increasingly evident each day. The garment-decorating marketplace has seen a significant shift toward three things: individualization and customization for quantities as small as one; and the prevailing customer mindset of "I want it right now.”

When a customer wants 100, 500 or 5,000 shirts, you still can screen print the order, but a growing number of customers want shorter runs. Even some longer-run customers ask for multiple shorter runs that will allow for leaner inventory levels, lessening the risk of being left with unsold merchandise.

Therefore, digital printing probably should be an option in your shop.

You likely already turn customers away if you have no digital-decoration method. "Why can't you do three black shirts with a full-color image?”a customer may ask. "A dozen companies online will do it for me.”

Here's a not-too-well-kept secret: Nearly all those online companies are using direct-to-garment (DTG) technology to fulfill such short-run orders. But they are doing hundreds and hundreds of them at a premium price. This is a fast-growing business to which you could have access with a DTG printer on your production floor.

The print-room environment is a critical part of the formula for success. DTG printers do not fare well on a traditional screen-printing or embroidery production floor. They need an office-type environment with consistent temperature and a minimum humidity level of 40%, which is important to help avoid a clogged print head and excessive automatic head cleanings.

You may not necessarily experience clogging, but too-low humidity will cause the print head to overheat, resulting in repeated automatic cleanings to cool it. The proper environment not only will help avoid clogging issues, but also save you from increased ink expenses due to unnecessary head cleanings.

Some printers can be removed from this environment to be used at special events, such as car shows, art fairs, etc.  The key is to return the machine to its proper environment as quickly as possible, but a one- or two-day event won't be an issue. (After all, those DTG vendors operating at trade shows certainly are printing in less-than-perfect environments.)
