DTG Printing

What Is DTG Printing?

Everything you need to know about dtg printing services for Irvine businesses and organizations.

DTG (direct-to-garment) printing uses industrial inkjet technology to spray water-based ink directly onto the fabric. This allows full-color, photographic-quality prints with unlimited colors and zero setup fees. Ideal for small orders, sample runs, and complex artwork that would be prohibitively expensive with screen printing.

Common Questions

DTG Printing FAQ - Irvine

Answers to the most common questions about dtg printing for Irvine businesses and organizations.

Can I get DTG printing near Irvine with no minimums?

Yes! French Press Custom offers DTG (direct-to-garment) printing with absolutely no minimums - print a single shirt if you want. Our facility is just 30 minutes from Irvine and we serve artists, brands, and businesses throughout the Orange County region. No setup fees, no screen charges, just pay per print.

How fast can I get DTG printed shirts delivered to Irvine?

DTG turnaround depends on order size and our current production schedule. For Irvine orders, rush production may be available case-by-case. Since we're only 30 minutes away, local pickup is always an option for the fastest turnaround.

What is DTG printing and how does it work?

DTG (direct-to-garment) printing works like an inkjet printer for fabric. Your design is printed directly onto the garment using water-based CMYK + white ink at up to 1,440 DPI resolution. The result is photographic-quality prints with an ultra-soft hand feel - you can barely feel the ink on the fabric. Best for full-color designs, photographs, and small orders.

Is DTG printing durable? Will it fade or crack?

DTG prints are very durable when properly cared for. The water-based inks bond directly with the cotton fibers, so there's nothing on the surface to crack or peel (unlike some screen printing inks or vinyl). Wash inside-out in cold water and tumble dry low for best longevity. DTG prints maintain their quality through 50+ washes.

What fabrics work with DTG printing?

DTG works best on 100% cotton and high-cotton blends (at least 50% cotton). The water-based inks need natural fibers to bond with. For 100% polyester, synthetic blends, or nylon, we recommend DTF (direct-to-film) printing instead, which works on any fabric type. We'll recommend the best method for your specific garment.

Can you rush dtg printing in Irvine?

Yes. Rush windows by method: screen printing and embroidery in 3-5 days, DTG and DTF in 2-3 days, heat transfer vinyl in 24-48 hours, quoted per project. Pickup in Santa Fe Springs as soon as the job is done, or local delivery to Irvine. See our rush printing page for details.
