Our printing methods

Digital direct also called DTG or " Direct-to-garment" is our standard printing method here at Egendesign. As a customer, you can change the printing method to plotter printing (flex, flock, and special flex printing) — under the circumstances that your design is approved for plotter printing. You can see if your design is approved by clicking on your design in our product designer and opening the color selection. If your design is approved, you will be able to select Flex, Special Flex and Flock as printing methods. Requirements for your design to use plotter printing and Digital Direct Printing can be found here .

Wash test for best print results

Before products are added to our range, we ensure that they live up to our high standards with thorough tests. Products and prints must go through a cycle of ten washes without losing color saturation before we consider them satisfactory for our customers. We accept nothing but printing with realistic color reproduction. This is the best way to establish quality assurance.
