At Starhawk, our Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing service delivers detailed, full-color graphics directly onto compatible garments. Ideal for photographic artwork, illustrations, gradients, and complex designs, DTG provides excellent detail and color reproduction without the need for traditional screen-print setup.

Engineered for Detailed Garment Graphics

DTG printing applies specialized water-based inks directly to the garment surface, allowing intricate artwork and multiple colors to be reproduced with fine detail. It is particularly suited to small and mid-sized production runs, product development, custom collections, and designs that require high-resolution graphic reproduction.

Starhawk works from your approved artwork, garment specifications, color requirements, print dimensions, and placement details to produce professionally printed apparel for brands, private-label programs, fashion collections, streetwear, and custom apparel projects.
