For those wondering… I normally do knock the black out of my prints for darker garments but the point of this video was to experiment. I honestly think the print turned out great. Happy with it but remember, it can always look better haha. Thanks for watching.

So many people dont know that there is a huge gap between designers and printers. This kind of videos really helps. Thanks new subscriber here

I find many people "give up" on dtg printing if the first print isn't exactly what they expect. I always recommend talking to your printer and asking for their help in improving your files to get what you want. Small tweaks can make big differences. Any DTG printer should be willing to review your artwork file and provide recommendations and feedback to help you get the results you want. In many cases, in order to make improvements to a file, you will need to test print it one time on the garment you want to use, then adjust the file to make any improvements you seek. Since there are no moqs with dtg printing the process is typically fast and not expensive (compared to other printing methods).

DUDE What a sick video! As a graphic designer whos working on a clothing brand this was a great insight into the market and also the way its done! Thank you so much and hope more people can appreciate how amazing this video is!

@@305dadecounty305 I use the adobe suite, it is really great as it comes with a community of people to help ya with more advance things like scripts and allows for so much customization, from 3d effects to 2d animations and graphic design adobe usually can do what you would like. Also the biggest thing is the tutorials online. Having a bunch of different peoples workflows and teaching you different efficient patterns really helps with learning the software side. It can put you in a good spot to go ahead and grow with your designs or style. I will say the biggest thing that helped me was a binder of all keyboard shortcuts and really important things I learn as thats something I can refer to and helps me remember. Excuse me for the paragraph I just got home from a trip but hope this sheds some light on a great product. Hope all goes well for ya!

I usually remove the black unless the design is inside a box or a giant solid shape. I also switch over to cmyk mode to adjust the color. Then ibswitch back to rgb to make my png. So far so good. I'm getting good colors and my shirts when I test them have been coming out well. I have yet to try using lightning. That will be my next test.

$. Using a dpi of 450 (over my usual 300) has made a significant difference in the quality of my dtf and dtg prints. Great information in your videos also, there was information here I never considered.

Your examples are way too zoomed out.

so there is a lot here, but just 1 quick note. You can 100% keep the grain in your art. A lot if what is lost depends on the Rip Software and the Printer being used. They are using Kornit Storms. One of the things about the Kornit printer is it pringing wet on wet, for want of a better term, That process tends to not do well with small detials, like dot grain or fine/small text. If your art has a lot of those details i would sugest a printer that uses Brother GTX printers or ever higher production shops that are using the Roq NOW printers.

to help build contrast i bring the art in to photoshop and adjust levels, then the saturation and lightness, and finally, brightness and contrast. in that order. give it a shot.

This video is very helpful More videos on creating designs for printing would be great 😊

Two insanely loving guy 🙏🖤 Really insightful

for transparancy thing just make the design bitmap halftones like they do these days with dtf halftones, it works perfectly with DTG as well.

Yes!!!! Please do not provide print files with less than 100% opacity for feathering, blending, or cloud effects. Use halftones @ 100% opacity to get more predictable results with your DTG prints. Keep halftone size at a good pixel size, if your halftones are too small they will not be visible (same as any printing).

@@IanGruber81 ye! Best way is to make the artwork 1200 dpi and then do halftones. Also knock off that black, bcz the tshirt black color can take care of that. It saves printer ink and makes the print less rubbery i guess

This video was great and helped me out, been wanting to see DTG in action as I'm trying to determine if doing the halftone routine that people use on DTF transfers will work with DTG in a similar way and I *think* it looks like it'll work for me, I do more print on demand because I can't afford the equipment investment -- I'm going to submit a couple halftone/knocked out designs and order them myself and see if they're acceptable enough to keep online but this has me feeling a little bit optimistic that it'll work for me. My main issue is one of my providers doesn't allow me to disable any of the color options (for the shirts) so I'm also attempting to try some different designs w/ a neutral sort of color that works on black, white, and colored shirts without looking too awful between them but not sure that'll work or not, seems with the halftone technique you kind of have to design it for one specific shirt color or similar colors but I'm going to test and see if there's any way I can make them look somewhat decent on multiple different colors. haha, this stuff is a little bit stressful for me whose only designed for screen or paper printed products most of my life... again, great video!

Great video! Around 6:40 Ian mentiones that there is a lot of noise in an area of the file, but it's hard to see from the camera what this noise is. I'm mainly concerned what happens when we remove the blacks from the image, because often individual pixels or small clusters of pixels that were lighter than the threshold are left in the artwork surrounded by empty pixels, and it concerns me that this might not print correctly using DTG. Is this a valid concern and if yes - how can this be avoided?

Did you print black ink on the black garment or is that technically a dark grey? I have done numerous tests with my machine printing the black in the design VS removing it and pulling the black from the garment itself. Just curious to hear your thoughts on this. GREAT VIDEO!!

So while in PS, should we be designing using CMYK mode? I see most people still edit in RGB, makes no sense to me?

Where can i find the video of you creating the seperations and the highlight layer?

Such a dope video! I'm curious what the results would've been with the black removed from the artwork. Or did he recommend keeping that in to help with the fine detail of the design? Regardless, it was awesome getting to see you get out there and show the full process with DTG printing!

Legend!!! Thanks for the comment man. So without the black it would of been fine just not as rich in color. I find it’s hit or miss. It’s definitely something to try again in a future video.

Is it best to leave the black color on the design or should we removed it completely so that the black color comes naturally from the fabric? Which best?

@CharleyPangus

Жыл бұрын

Problem with knocking black out is if it’s not done perfect you will see whitening around where the black used to be. I would always try both ways.

Does this mean that a white area with fading out usually works? Just colour over it is not possible with such precision? Or are there printers who simply apply a continuous white layer underneath? A white layer with varying degrees of transparency would be really great for some of my designs even if they are a little sparkley, but a solid white layer in that hole area would be really unattractive... Thanks for this informative video!!! Thumbs up!!!

The better question to ask is, "what is the biggest I can dtg print on this t shirt or hoodie?" As Charley points out, dtg printers can print huge prints, however printers have to get the garment onto a palette. If you are printing a small shirt, it will have to be on a smaller platen, which will limit the size of the print.
