Professional DTG Printers for Custom Apparel Printing
Take your custom apparel business to the next level with a professional DTG printer from GPI Supplies. Direct-to-garment printing makes it possible to produce detailed, full-color graphics directly onto T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and other garments without the screens and extensive setup traditionally associated with screen printing.
Whether you're starting a custom T-shirt business, bringing apparel production in-house, or expanding an established print shop, a direct-to-garment printer provides the flexibility to produce everything from personalized one-off garments to larger production runs.
What Is a DTG Printer?
A DTG printer, or direct-to-garment printer, uses specialized inkjet printing technology to print digital artwork directly onto fabric. This allows businesses to reproduce photographs, gradients, detailed artwork, small lettering, and designs with many colors without creating separate screens for every color.
DTG printing is especially well suited for custom T-shirts, hoodies, fashion apparel, personalized garments, merchandise, promotional apparel, and print-on-demand production.
Because designs are printed digitally, DTG is also an excellent solution for businesses producing short runs and personalized orders where traditional screen-printing setup may not be practical.

GPI Supplies offers Epson DTG solutions including the compact SureColor F1070 and higher-production SureColor F2270. These machines provide businesses with options for different production requirements, available space, and budgets.
Select Epson SureColor models also provide DTG and DTF printing capabilities, giving apparel decorators additional flexibility when deciding how to produce a particular garment or transfer.
DTG vs. DTF Printing
Both DTG and DTF printing are popular methods for producing full-color custom apparel, but they use different production processes.
DTG prints the image directly onto the garment, while DTF printing produces a transfer that is later applied to the garment using a heat press.
The best technology for your business depends on the garments you decorate, your production volume, the types of orders you receive, and your preferred workflow. Hybrid DTG/DTF-capable equipment can provide additional production flexibility for businesses that want access to both decorating methods.
