Direct-to-Film Printing

Direct-to-Film (DTF) is the latest in t-shirt printing methods. It offers durability and flexibility, making it ideal for clothes that experiences high wear and tear. DTF prints are renowned for their bright colors and are a perfect match for athletic wear.

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing

DTG is a popular choice for custom t-shirt design. Perfect for short runs and one-off designs, DTG offers the flexibility to print any design, no matter how complex.

Almost all of our Print on Demand T-Shirts use the DTG printing technique. The only exception currently is the C2 Sport 5100, which is available with direct-to-film printing on t-shirts.

Our DTG guide provides insights into print expectations.

📌 Special note:

All the shirts we offer at Gooten t-shirt design maker are 30 singles or higher because that amount is optimal for DTG.

Selecting the Best Materials for Clothing

Gooten’s Custom T-Shirt selection is a melting pot of exquisitely crafted fabrics, ensuring durability and print quality. Our tees are made from 100% cotton fabrics, polycotton blends, or tri-blends. Some of our print-on-demand apparel catalog’s most common garment compositions include ringspun cotton, airlume combed cotton, and 50/50 or 90/10 polycotton fabrics.

Open-End Cotton

This is the product of a spinning technique that twists the yarn by rotating short fibers. Compared to other methods, such as combing and ring spinning, open-end spinning costs less, making the overall process more cost-effective, and the production speed is higher. The process results in a bulky, fuzzy fabric.

Ringspun Cotton

“Ringspun” is a specialized manufacturing method that elevates the caliber of cotton. The process consists of continuous yarn spinning, twisting, and thinning, yielding longer, velvety threads that produce durable, ultra-soft fabric with increased breathability compared to conventional cotton. The cotton’s texture is smoother and devoid of impurities, which is the goal of the process.

A step further is airlume cotton. The method involves intensive combing before the cotton is spun into yarn. The aim is, again, to eliminate impurities from the raw material. Although this process incurs some material loss and takes longer, it uplifts cotton’s value and the garment’s premium properties.

Open-End vs. Ringspun Cotton

Although both open-end and ringspun cotton have benefits, the latter offers more optimal results for DTG printing, as its texture is smoother, ensuring the end print will be crisper and of higher quality. It is also softer to the touch, elevating the premium properties of the clothing item.

Tri-Blend

This type of fabric comprises cotton, polyester, and rayon. Initially developed as a silk substitute, rayon is soft and has moisture-absorbent qualities, ideal for athletic or athleisure wear. The material is light and suitable for vintage-style pictures. When printed with water-based ink, tri-blends show natural heathered properties due to the selective removal of cotton color.

While print results might be less bright than with other more common fabrics, tri-blends offer naturally heathered, old-style looks. The pictures on tri-blend T-shirts might appear less vibrant than prints on 100% cotton, but neither is superior; they’re merely distinct.

So, you can create a T-shirt that exhibits very low shrinkage compared to 100% cotton items, with only a little size reduction that shouldn’t substantially change the fit over time.
