Serving Whittier From Right Next Door

Whittier is a straight 10-minute shot up Whittier Boulevard from our shop, about 4 miles door to door from Uptown's Greenleaf Avenue. Between Uptown's small businesses, the schools and booster clubs spread across the city, and the hospital and college campuses on the east side, Whittier is exactly the mix of spirit wear, staff apparel and event tees a nearby shop is built for, and First Fridays and parade season mean plenty of short-notice event printing.

At just 4 miles out, qualifying Whittier orders get free local delivery, and pickup at the shop is 10 minutes down Whittier Boulevard.

DTG Printing

What Is DTG Printing?

Everything you need to know about dtg printing services for Whittier 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 - Whittier

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

Can I get DTG printing near Whittier 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 10 minutes from Whittier and we serve artists, brands, and businesses throughout the Gateway Cities region. No setup fees, no screen charges, just pay per print.

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

DTG turnaround depends on order size and our current production schedule. For Whittier orders, rush production may be available case-by-case. Since we're only 10 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 Whittier?

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 Whittier. See our rush printing page for details.
