At BIG FROG of Portland, Let Colors Come Alive on Dark-Colored Shirts With DTG-White

When you need your T-shirt design to stand out against a dark-colored shirt, you can trust Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More of Portland to get the job done! With Direct-to-Garment White (DTG-White), you can easily add a pop of color to dark-colored garments.

DTG White

HOLD UP, WHAT’S DTG-WHITE DECORATING?

Similar to Direct-to-Garment Printing which uses a high-tech inkjet printer to print digital designs and images directly onto a garment, DTG-White is an apparel decorating technique that prints a white layer as a “primer” on darker garments, then adds colored inks on top of the primer. The result? A completely vibrant color and custom design on your garments!

OUR MOST REQUESTED APPAREL & ACCESSORIES FOR DIGITAL PRINTING:

  • T-SHIRTS
  • JERSEYS
  • FLEECE
  • SWEATSHIRTS
  • PLUS MANY MORE!

HOW DOES CUSTOM DTG-WHITE PRINTING WORK? COME EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC!

  1. EXPLORE OUR COLOR WALL. DTG-White is a great option for dark-colored shirts — which means you’ll never be limited by your choice of colors! Our Color Wall inventory gives you an up close look at the different colors available for your selection.
  2. SHOP FROM OUR COLLECTION OF WELL-LOVED BRANDS. Unlike ordering online, choosing to buy local at Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More of Portland allows you to personally feel and touch the softness of our garments so you get to choose the quality and fabric that absolutely fit your needs.
  3. DESIGN ON YOUR OWN or WORK WITH OUR DESIGNER. Ready to get started? Through our free, 15-minute design consultation service, we can help turn your creative idea into a stunning design.

WHY CHOOSE CUSTOM DIGITAL T-SHIRT PRINTING?

  • 1 TO 150 PRINTING. Need only 1 shirt? DTG-White T-shirt printing can get it done for you! While DTG-White printing can also be a great choice for volume printing, its unique edge over other types of decorating techniques — including screen printing — is its single-printing and small-batch capability, giving you the most flexibility in the number of shirts you can order. For the best value, be sure to ask us about volume discounts.
  • FULL-COLOR OPTION ON DARK-COLORED GARMENTS. Unlike screen printing which applies one color on a shirt at a time, DTG printing can easily print a rainbow of colors. This makes digital T-shirt printing a more affordable full-color option than screen printing.
  • 24-HOUR TURNAROUND. Last-minute shirts? Digital printing can come to your rescue! The true power of DTG-White lies in its quick turnaround capability for in-stock apparel, giving you peace-of-mind that you’ll have your shirt in time for that special event.
  • HIGH-RESOLUTION PRINTING. Need to print your garage band’s cover on shirts for your new fan club? DTG-White printing is guaranteed to make everyone happy! One of digital t-shirt printing’s edge over screen printing is its capability to print in high, full color detail on dark garments.
  • CLEAN & GREEN. Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More of Portland is committed to being green. One of the cleanest ways to decorate custom shirts, DTG-White uses an environmentally friendly and non-toxic water-based ink.

    Very impressed with this place. I stop by unannounced during a busy time for them and they still took the time to help and educate me on the process. Both Sanford and Nika who I worked with were excellent and I would highly recommend

    By K Hart
    I have had several single orders of custom printed T-shirts made here for birthdays and celebrations. Their web site is designed well for easy online entry. They got back to me promptly with a fair price and draft. Delivered flawlessly. I heartily recommend this place for excellent customer service.
    By Sunil Shenoy
    Very affordable prices! And quick turn around for printing single items!
    By Felix Stokes
    Copying my yelp review here on Google too! Big frog is incredible. Have used them three times now. For t shirts and for custom images on tote bags. Their service and work quality exceeds expectations. They’re able to turn things around very quickly (Less then 24 hours has been my experience) simply because that’s already how they work. None of the additional hassle and extra unhidden costs we experience basically everywhere. Dakotah did an amazing job as a graphic designer and was also very knowledgeable and anticipatory about how different color inks would show up when assessing making a shirt for my dog. Thank you!
    By Jennifer Chi
    I went to this place to get two unique shirts done for a friend and I was impressed with the result. Good quality work. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would come here again.
    By Peter M
    I picked up custom t-shirts from two Portland shops back to back, and while they were printed on different materials, it’s pretty clear that Big Frog wins out on the print quality. Each of the three tees from Big Frog were unique, and the price jump per unit wasn’t significant from their quote on a different, matching larger batch print job.
    By Matt Simmons
    Great experience! The T-shirt was made fast, the quality is really good, and the price was very reasonable. I’m very happy with the result and would definitely come back again.
    By Artiom Gevorgian
    I had a great experience with this business, both online and in person.
    By Georgia Harker
    Big Frog is Portland’s finest custom t-shirt shop! The designers are great to work with. The pricing is fair. And their production is flawless and timely. You’re even greeted by a “ribbit” when you open their door. This place is creative and fun!!
    By Nancy Chilless

    By Johnny Marco
    Big Frog helped me with a special one-off t-shirt gift recently, They were easy to deal with, had lots of great shirt options, and produced a nice looking novelty gift on a short turn around for a fair price.
    By Pete Conklin
    Was such a delight to work with Big Frog! My son has some sensory stuff and they were awesome to work with. Now he has his dream luna moth hoodie. Thank you Big Frog!
