Direct to Garment (DTG) printing has emerged as a transformative technology in the textile and apparel industry, revolutionizing how designs are applied to fabrics. Unlike traditional methods such as screen printing or heat transfer, DTG printing employs advanced inkjet technology to print intricate, high-quality designs directly onto garments, offering unparalleled flexibility and creativity. This innovative approach allows for vibrant, full-color prints with fine details, making it a preferred choice for businesses and individuals seeking customized, on-demand apparel.

The versatility of DTG printing has led to its adoption across a wide range of applications, making it a cornerstone of modern apparel production. One of the primary applications is in the custom apparel industry, where businesses produce personalized t-shirts, hoodies, and other garments for individuals, events, or brands. DTG’s ability to print complex designs with a vast color palette makes it ideal for creating unique merchandise, such as fan art, pop culture references, or bespoke fashion pieces.

The market is witnessing remarkable momentum across North America, driven by economic growth, digital innovation, and a shifting preference toward personalized fashion. According to Select USA, the U.S. textile and apparel industry has long been a powerhouse in global manufacturing, with a domestic garment market valued at $311 billion as of 2019 and textile and apparel exports reaching $23 billion. Mexico’s rapidly growing e-commerce industry is central in propelling demand for digitally printed apparel. Canada’s strong economic standing, particularly in household disposable income, is a key factor driving the market. As reported by the OECD, the average household net adjusted disposable income per capita in Canada is USD 34,421—well above the OECD average. This higher purchasing power creates a greater consumer appetite for premium, custom, and sustainable clothing options. Therefore, North America’s strong e-commerce ecosystem and advanced apparel industry continue to propel the adoption of cutting-edge DTG printing technologies.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
