Direct to Garment

Your new HBCU ArtWear product or apparel is made to order. The print on your shirt may vary slightly from the mockup image. Print color/placements can vary from order-to-order, or within an order. We use direct-to-garment or DTG printing for most of our apparel products. It’s like using a regular printer, but on garments. Designs are printed directly onto the garment and absorbed into the fabric. When unpacking your new shirt or hoodie with a direct-to-garment (DTG) print, you might notice a vinegar-like smell or an off-white residue. Don’t worry, that’s not unusual – it’s from a fixation agent applied during the printing process and it’s not permanent. By ordering from us, you agree to accept these characteristics of DTG t-shirt printing.
