Great video! Printing neck labels with DTG is very cool, but it seems to take a lot of time. Particularly the placement of the garment. Is this something you always / often do, or only for some orders where the customer is prepared to pay for the extra work?
I agree it’s a lot of work... that’s why we use direct to film to do neck labels now... we use the same dtg printing to do it. It saves a lot of time we can print about 20 neck labels per run... if you’re not familiar with dtf I have a video up of us using dtf to print on hats

@@Shirtdna Wow, I didn't know about DTF and have never considered that a DTG printer can be used for other things than printing directly to a garment!. Just watched your DTF video and that technique seems very nice for neck labels.
It’ll save so much time. Thank you for watching! If you have any questions let me know.

@@Shirtdna How is the feel / the "hand" of print and washability affected by using this special film + powder instead of printing directly to the garment?
Great question. Because we have to add a thin layer of powder to act as the adhesive, when transferred on to the shirt it’s definitely noticeable. It almost feels like vinyl. Keep in mind the quality of the dtf powder plays a role. Higher quality dtf powders are stretchable and have a better hand feel. As far as washability, it’s not as good as dtg but can be washed as least 50 times(according to omniprint international test) and the design will still look good. I still have to do my own washability test. But I’ve read online, using different fabrics, (100% cotton, 100% poly) washability was tested one wash a day for three weeks and the designs were still good.
