Malmo Printing Co’s selection of premium quality sustainable garments are the perfect place to start your print order.
They use only organic cotton with fair trade and GOTS certifications.
All their polyester is recycled which means no new plastic.
With a wide range of styles, fits, and colors, they’re confident you’ll find something you love and can wear over and over again.
Malmo use Epson DTG printers to bring speed and quality to their online custom garment offer.
The Epson DTG printer uses Epson UltraChrome DG Ink which prints directly onto cotton and has a wide colour gamut.
Also, it prints onto dark fabric with ease as the white ink is extremely tough.
Epson's UltraChrome DG ink has been awarded ECO PASSPORT certification1 by OEKO-TEX®.
ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® is a system by which textile chemical suppliers demonstrate that their product can be used in a sustainable textile production.
Epson UltraChrome DG ink and pre-treatment are certified by the Eco Passport. This is an international safety standard in the textile industry.
It is certified to be safe for adults and children, including babies.
Digital or “DTG (Direct to garment)” printing is pretty much exactly like what it sounds like.
Where screen printing requires ink to be pushed through as many mesh stencils needed to compose your image, DTG is essentially a large-format inkjet printer that takes your digital image from the computer and prints it directly onto your garment.
It requires a whole lot less set-up and allows for full color graphics to be printed much closer to the original design than screen printing would.
It’s pretty much like printing documents to your desktop inkjet printer, only the printer is way bigger, the paper is a t-shirt, tote or whatever you can imagine, and your designs are likely much cooler than boring office documents.
The less cotton there is in your garment, the less ink will end up sticking to it and the more the color of the garment will show through.
When printing on dark garments, we add an under layer of white ink so your colors printed on top will pop.
