• Digital (also called Direct-to-Garment or DTG) - with this technique, the ink is printed directly onto the product. It makes it possible to switch easily to another print per product. However, it takes quite a long time to print a product. For a limited amount (up to 50 pieces) DTG is the best technique to use. With DTG it is only possible to print full colour.
