The DTG Revolution

Icolor printers are the most used and recommended printing machines for starting a graphic or printing business. Graphic printing on garments and ceramics is in demand and it is expected to remain high in demand in the coming years. It is so because the use of heat transfer technology has made it more affordable and durable. Let’s discuss the features of a heat printing machine and the advantages of heat transfer prints  1. Convenience Heat transfer is a relatively new technology in comparison to screen printing but it has caught the attention of printers due to its convenience. It has made it easier to print or transfer prints to various substrates including garments, wood, plastic, and ceramics. It involves the use of heat and pressure. The design is first heated and then transferred to a surface. Also, it is easier to use heat press printing machines.  2. Quality The heat transfer process involves the use of a specific type of paper that can be printed with even a regular ...

DTG or Direct-to-garment is a process of printing that uses the new aqueous inkjet technology. The printers normally use a platen for keeping the cloth in one place and the printer ink is prayed over it. For DTG T-shirt printing , the t-shirt should be pre-treated with the help of a Pre-treatment machine (PTM). Pre-treatment of cloths using PTM helps in a stronger connection between the t-shirt fibers and the inks.  It chemically combines with the ink for accelerating the process of drying and blistering. Moreover, it also helps to create a smooth substrate by laying the fibers loose. The aqueous textile ink must go through a curing procedure before it can be used in the DTG printers. Before printing, the t-shirts are frequently given a pre-treatment so that the fibers of the t-shirts remain flat when they are heat pressed within the garment. This also helps to form a strong connection between the fabric and the water-based ink. This is very helpful during printing on dark clothes ...
