Decoration compatibility

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

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.

Compatible with this fabric type at correct press temperature and pressure.

  • High press heat can affect polyester — test temperature and dwell time before a full run.
  • Moisture-management finishes can reduce adhesion — verify wash durability on a test piece.

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.

Embroiders well with appropriate backing.

  • Lightweight or performance knit — use a stabilizer/backing to prevent puckering.

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.
  • Verify transfer adhesion over moisture-management finishes.

Sublimation

Excellent

High-polyester fabric accepts sublimation dye fully.

  • Sublimation shows only on white or very light garment colors.

Decoration results can vary by equipment, ink, transfer material, garment color, and production settings. Always test before beginning a full production run.

About this blank

Printing on Sublimated Fabric: Printing over sublimated fabric can be achieved with ease, it’s always best to contact your ink manufacturer before printing. An under base is recommended with all inks. When curing ink do NOT exceed 320 degrees.

Designs: Designs with less fill and darker ink colors work best to block the pattern, lighter inks may allow the digital pattern to show through. Bold lines are recommended, fine lines will disappear into the pattern.

Country of origin

Made in China or Nicaragua.

Shown for the Black/ Red colorway; origin can vary by color and production run.

Terms used on this page

Polyester
Polyester is a synthetic, petroleum-based fiber prized for durability, quick-dry performance, and colorfastness, but prone to dye migration under screen-print inks.
Moisture-Wicking Fabric
Moisture-wicking fabric, almost always polyester, pulls sweat away from skin to its outer surface for fast evaporation, unlike absorbent cotton.
Self-fabric collar
A self-fabric collar is a polo collar cut from the same piqué or jersey yardage as the shirt body instead of a separately knitted piece.
Underbase
An underbase is a layer of white (or light) plastisol printed first on dark garments so the colors on top stay bright instead of blending into the fabric.
Curing
Curing is heating printed plastisol ink to roughly 320°F for enough time that it fully cross-links into the fabric instead of just drying on the surface.
