Decoration compatibility

VisePrint guidance derived from this garment's stated fabric and construction — not manufacturer claims.

Decoration method compatibility for this garment
Method	Rating	Notes
Screen printing	Good	Prints well with a low-bleed ink system made for polyester; standard plastisol can dye-migrate. Dye-migration risk on polyester content — use a low-bleed or poly-specific ink system and cure at lower temperatures.
DTF transfer	Conditional	Open or slick mesh surface — adhesion varies; run a wash test first. High press heat can affect polyester — test temperature and dwell time before a full run.
DTG printing	Not Recommended	Polyester-dominant fabric is a poor DTG substrate; choose DTF or screen printing instead. Water-based DTG ink absorbs poorly into polyester and can wash out — pretreat and test. Non-flat mesh surface reduces DTG detail.
Embroidery	Conditional	Very light fabric can pucker under dense designs — keep stitch counts modest and stabilize well. Lightweight or performance knit — use a stabilizer/backing to prevent puckering.
Heat transfer	Good	Standard HTV and transfers apply well at the correct temperature for this fiber mix. Use low-temperature transfer material to avoid scorch or dye migration on polyester.
Sublimation	Excellent	High-polyester fabric accepts sublimation dye fully. Sublimation shows only on white or very light garment colors.
