When unpacking a 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.

Neither the residue nor the smell is permanent and both should go away after one wash.

We use the latest direct-to-garment (DTG) printing technology to offer a wide variety of printable garments and design color options, using high-quality inks that won't fade for a long time if taken care of properly.

We recommend machine-washing cold, inside-out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary. You shouldn't use any fabric softeners or dry-clean the items.

DTG-printed apparel can be tumble-dried on a low cycle, but hang-dry works best. When it comes to ironing, use cool iron inside-out. Don't iron the print.
