Default DTG and sketch like designs

Question 1 - Ive been looking through older threads, about best ways of printing sketch like designs (with pencil shading) on to t shirts. Some say screen print some say DTG. I think in the long run the best and easiest way for me would be DTG. I know they are quite expensive, but in the long run I think it's worth it. Can anyone recommend a brand of a DTG printer that would be good for printing sketch like designs? Would need one to be shipped within the EU.

Question 2 - can DTG printers print large designs, all over shirt designs, or its mostly for smaller designs? ( I dont know much about it, just speaking of what ive seen in the printer advert videos).

Question 3 - Can DTG printer give that effect of watered down ink, that makes the design sort of 'blend in' with the shirt. Ha, hope that just made sense. Anyway, waiting for everyones replys, thanks.
P.S The designs will be just black and grey on white shirts and on black shirts that would have to be white with light grey shading I suppose.

Default Re: DTG and sketch like designs

Here are Few videos you can watch from youtube that might help you get going for cheaper/easier & sooner?


I wants to look at what Opaque Paper can do work with Regular Epson Printers[i am sure you won't use Home Iron for it which is free.]

You can surely buy DTG if you have more then $10K atleast upfront. No experience with any Instrument yet but i am learning stuff & then apply later.
