Welcome to the Forums!!!

If I could give you any advice it's to read the vast amount of info that already exists on this site, and definitely ask specific questions when you need to.

Best of luck with you DTG purchase... it's always exciting to add something new to your product line.

Welcome Shawn,

You have found a great place to do your research. It sounds like dtg would be a good thing for your business, especially if you are turning away alot of smaller jobs because of set up costs for screen printing. I myself do dtg printing, and most times I print straight from corel draw, as this is what I find works best for me. The two programs most used with dtg is corel draw and photoshop, so either of them should work fine for you. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask, we have alot of dtg printers here, and I am sure they would love to help

Thank you. Which Dtg do you use and how long have you been doing dtg?

I have a HM1 made by dtg america, I have been printing with it a bit over a year I really love my machine, as most owners of the different machines do. My best advice is too look at all the different machines and learn as much as you can about them before buying. The biggest problem I see people have is that they arent prepared for, or told correctly how to take care of them properly. This is a really great resource for information on all the machines, and pretty much most things you need to know can be found here. Our dtg section of the forum has a ton of info Also a really good thing to do is go to one of the printwear shows if you can, and see them in action.
