Designing T-Shirts For DTG Printing? AVOID THESE THINGS! 

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 spent an entire day last week searching RU-vid for a video that would tell me this information - just went around in circles and got nowhere. So asked the universe, and today - Charlie delivered! Honestly one of the most useful videos I've ever watched in this niche. Cheers guys 😎

Oh Wow - it helps so much to listen, what printers actually expect from us Designers. Thank you so much Charley!

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

$. 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.

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!

Very gooood!!! Thanks for this content! 🤩❤

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!

Two insanely loving guy 🙏🖤 Really insightful

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?

Thanks for the info charley... I learn a lot with this video but is it possible if i do halftones with multiply or screen blending option for fade gradient in Photoshop object?

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.

Thanks Charley!!

Great f***in’ video! That some cool behind the scene stuff. Really good info

Thanks for this info

Very informative video 👍

great video... thanks

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!

Brilliant vid... Thanks so much :-)

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

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.

Great video

Stone Cold Print Austin gave some really nice pieces of advice

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

Did you ever drop the video where you guys talk about the best shirt for DTG?

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!!!

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

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!!

I want to learn graphic designing what’s the procedure????

This Video is The Shit 🔥🔥Thank you so much for your Efforts in educating us 🙌 Appreciate it a LOT

Right at 8:05 I thought my laptop got fucked up. Thanks for the cardiac arrythmia.

Design with transparent elements print well with DTG if you apply halftones.🎉😅 That said the print came out awesome.

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?

Did the price of the course increase? I was considering it but I feel like it was less than $350 at the time.

I bought some mock ups from mockshop but won’t let me download my mock up what do I do ?

halftones bro please

Hi, what the biggest size for DTG can print?

Guys is there any way to print a big image on a sweatshirt without making the graphic too thick?

As an average person, if I create a design using high resolution and a decent file size... Do I have to worry about this process or is my manufacturer the one who ultimately ensures the print comes out as expected?

🦁👕 Have you tried DTF printing lion designs on t-shirts yet? Share your experience with us! @‌fastdtftransfer

Would’ve been perfect to just take out the black in the print since it’s going on a black garment

Bet it would look even more dope if you remove the black ink.

the Doc. Dr Disrespect lol

Fish Nisht

Far to slow to print

Please stop printed with DTG 🤦🏻‍♂️

oh,and dr disrespect blows at gaming,even with pros.
