Superior Quality on Cotton


Our process is optimized for 100% cotton and high-cotton blend garments. The ink bonds directly with the fibers, resulting in a soft, breathable finish that feels like an integral part of the fabric itself, rather than a heavy layer on top.

  • What brand of industrial DTG printers does Silverscreen Decoration & Fulfillment use?

    We use Brother GTX industrial printers for all our Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing services.


    These state-of-the-art machines allow us to produce high-clarity, photorealistic images with fine detail and vibrant color palettes. Combined with our 20+ years of printing experience, Brother GTX technology ensures your custom merchandise meets the highest standards of quality.

  • How does Silverscreen handle garment pretreatment, and will it leave a stain?

    We apply garment pretreatment using dedicated, separate equipment and guarantee that our process will not leave any stains on your apparel.


    Pretreatment is essential for the water-based inks to bond correctly with the fabric. Our meticulous quality control ensures a flawless, soft-feel finish every time, protecting your brand's integrity.

  • What fabric compositions are best for DTG printing vibrancy?

    For optimal vibrancy and print quality, we exclusively support 100% cotton garments for our DTG printing services.


    Water-based DTG inks bond directly with natural cotton fibers. This ensures superior color reproduction and results in a soft, breathable finish that feels like an integral part of the fabric itself, rather than a heavy layer on top.

  • How many washes will a DTG printed garment last?

    Our DTG prints offer exceptional wash-fastness and are tested to last for over 100 washes without significant fading.


    By utilizing premium water-based inks on 100% cotton apparel, the design embeds deeply into the fabric fibers. This guarantees maximum longevity and durability for your custom apparel.

  • How closely can DTG digital inks match my brand’s Pantone colors?

    While DTG does not match Pantone colors quite as closely as Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing, our advanced RIP software allows us to match your brand colors exceptionally well.


    Our specialized software optimizes complex color palettes and subtle gradients, enabling us to reproduce your most intricate designs with high accuracy and visual impact.

  • Can DTG printing go over seams, zippers, or pockets?

    No, DTG printing cannot be applied seamlessly over seams, zippers, or pockets.


    To achieve the highest clarity and sharpest detail, our Brother GTX printers require a completely flat printing surface. Printing over uneven elements compromises the ink application and final print quality.

  • Does Silverscreen integrate with e-commerce platforms for print-on-demand?

    Yes, we integrate directly with major e-commerce platforms to provide seamless print-on-demand (POD) fulfillment services.


    This integration streamlines your entire decoration process, allowing you to scale your business and automate order processing efficiently while relying on a trusted fulfillment partner.

  • What are your DTG pricing brackets, and when is screen printing cheaper?

    Our DTG pricing becomes more cost-effective at every dozen (12) quantity bracket, while screen printing generally becomes the cheaper option for high-volume runs.


    Because each brand's needs vary, we recommend reaching out directly for our detailed price lists. We will gladly help you determine the most economical printing method for your specific order volume.

  • Are the inks used in your DTG printing eco-friendly?

    Yes, the water-based digital inks we use for DTG printing are fully eco-friendly and carry organic certifications.


    This ensures that your custom merchandise is not only vibrant and durable but also produced using environmentally responsible and safe manufacturing practices.

  • What is the standard turnaround time for a DTG apparel order?

    Our standard turnaround time for single DTG orders is 5 to 7 days from the time the order is placed.


    If you need your garments sooner, expedited print-on-demand options are available in as little as 2 days at a higher price point. We consistently scale our production to meet your deadlines and keep your business moving forward.
