Direct to Garment Printing - I've gone and done it!

[Stitch Up]

As many of the pictures have disappeared from this thread, I thought I'd post them again. I always enjoy seeing what other people are doing as it inspires me and often gives me new ideas.

NOTE:
I've not produced these shirts for sale, they were produced as part of the huge learning curve! For each good outcome there have probably been 3 trashed!







Angie loves rhinestones


Practicing with white ink. DTG printers do not print any area in a design that's pure white C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:0








Adam, I made this design BIGGER and printed it again.




White shirts are so easy to print on, also very easy with sublimation too. DTG needs to be cotton (no polyester more than 50%) sublimation needs polyester! DTG printers can print on polyester if you use the inks designed for use with poly.




... and one for the forthcoming Six Nations


We're making progress but still a long way to go.

You've got to check your designs first John - you've got the shirts the wrong way round.

[Stitch Up]

Hahahaha, not sure I understand John

[Stitch Up]

I've checked again & again, they're definately the right way around

[Paul]

what about last one John??

[Stitch Up]

Not unsurprisingly, that was the only one I checked

I agree with the others, definitely the wrong way round and I'm sure Ann Robinson would agree with us

Well, if I do change the dolphins around, it'll look stupid as they'll ne swimming toward the beach!

Pity you couldn't sell those Ariel shirts John, they have so many possible options. Might cause a riot or two of course, but you would sell a load. That machine might take some learning but I think you have certainly made the right investment.
Congrats,
