Completely unprintable - washes out or stains
❌ PC61 - Red Color Only
Creates fixation stains, needs 24hr+ drying
❌ Low Cotton Content Items
Anything under 50% cotton prints poorly
❌ ANY Gildan Products
Special coating makes prints dull and lifeless - NEVER use this brand!
❌ Athletic/Performance Fabrics
Moisture-wicking treatments repel ink

Pro Tips for Best DTG Results

  • Cotton is King: 100% cotton products consistently produce the best prints
  • Dark Colors Print Best: Jet Black, Navy, and Dark Grey are our most reliable colors
  • Test First: Always request a sample for products not listed as "Excellent"
  • Rush Orders: Stick to products marked "Excellent" for tight deadlines
  • Polyester Blends: The higher the polyester content, the more challenging the print
  • White Garments: Test each style - some whites are problematic for DTG
  • Zipper Styles: Full-zip hoodies are challenging to print - the zipper interferes with print placement
