For this project, we selected DTG (Direct-to-Garment) technology. This is the only optimal method to accurately translate the nuances of raster graphics onto both sides of the T-shirt: the blur effect, soft gradients, halftone textures, and complex transitions from dark tones to transparency. Unlike screen printing or vinyl, direct printing perfectly reproduces the «smoky» edges of the design while fully preserving the softness and breathability of the knit fabric—a crucial factor when printing a large area on the back (29×38 cm).

The printing is performed using CMYK inks directly onto the textile without a white underbase, since the T-shirt is white and the light areas within the blur are the color of the fabric itself. This approach ensures maximum softness to the print, complete absence of a noticeable tactile ink layer, and ideal integration of the graphic’s semi-transparent edges into the material’s structure.
