In today's textile printing market, where personalized customization reigns supreme, DTG (Direct-to-Garment) technology stands out with its unique advantages, making it the go-to choice for printing on pure cotton and blended fabrics. No need for plates, and you can start with just one piece—it's ideal for small-batch orders like trend brand samples, corporate custom gear, or niche IP merchandise, turning "on-demand production" into a breeze.
HONGSAM's DTG process uses specialized pigment inks that seep right into the fabric fibers, keeping the printed area feeling just like the original material—breathable and soft. Say goodbye to the thick, rubbery feel of traditional heat transfers. It's perfect for capturing subtle gradients, light and shadow effects, and photo-quality designs, effortlessly handling complex patterns that screen printing struggles with.
At the heart of the DTG process, white ink is the game-changer for dark fabrics—its whiteness and coverage directly impact the final print quality. HONGSAM's JETTEXTILE® UltraWhite ink works seamlessly from home desktop DTG machines to industrial garment piece printers, delivering top-tier performance and becoming the benchmark for tackling direct printing challenges on dark cotton blends.
It boasts exceptional whiteness and strong opacity, providing a solid base on dark cotton, linen, or polyester-cotton mixes that blocks out the background color completely. This lets the overlaying colors pop with full saturation and vibrancy, bringing out sharp layers in the design.
Compatible with common pretreatment solutions, it lays down evenly without bleeding, pairs perfectly with color inks, and cuts down on rework big time.
Outstanding stretch resistance makes it great for activewear, stretchy tees, and other elastic fabrics—holds up through wear and washes without cracking or peeling.
Meets international fastness standards: dry rub fastness at 4-5 levels, wet rub fastness at 3-4, and patterns stay intact after dozens of everyday washes, fully satisfying consumer needs.
Excellent standby performance and smooth printing flow, with a special dispersion system that prevents titanium dioxide settling and reduces printhead clogs. It takes good care of mainstream heads like Epson, Ricoh, and Starfire, extending equipment life overall.
With years in the industry, HONGSAM is a drafter of national standards for textile pigment inks, holding independent IP and national invention patents.
