DTG sucks balls

posted 2 months ago by brett_district

I just wanted to put that out there. Everytime i try to use it for something i am sadly disappointed, and usually wind up losing money.

I wanted to put it out in a public forum that I shall from now on honor my self declared minimums, and never subcontract a DTG job again.

I got some good advice at ISS New England last weekend: Don’t be afraid to walk away from business that isn’t your specialization. Be good at what you do, and don’t try to do more than that.

    May I suggest that you’re doing it wrong?

    (or rather the people printing it for you are)

    Send me a mail steve AT mysoti DOT com.

    I’ll make you happy!

    I have shirts that I printed a year ago that still look good from my DTG service.

    Where are you finding your subcontractors?

    My printers are US though... Hell, I got printers all over the world... Bruhahahaha!

    Ahem.. Sorry

    Seriously though, with DTG you really got to shop around and look for someone who can give it the time. They may be in California but if it means waiting an extra 36hours for quality I’d go for it...
