Default Feel of DTG?

What is the feel of a DTG transfer?

Is it softer than light coloured transfer? because I have no idea when it comes to DTG,

Thanks in advance,

First, it is not a transfer. The ink is applied directly to the fabric. Second, you cannot feel the print at all.

you can only feel the ink when printing on dark shirts with a white underbase.

what he said. No feel.

It's basically feel of the shirt or whatever you are using.

Even the best light transfer has a bit of a feel to it in the beginning.

DTG...on lights...has no feel. On darks, with an underbase, it has a bit of a feel similar to a good screenprint.

It does say in the ad that the shirts were screen printed. Screen printing does give a somewhat vinyl feel.
