Decoration compatibility
VisePrint guidance derived from this garment's stated fabric and construction — not manufacturer claims.
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.
- Textured fleece surface — expect some ink gain; a higher-mesh screen and an underbase help keep edges clean.
DTF transfer
Good
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.
- Lofted fleece surface — press with slightly higher pressure for full transfer contact.
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 fleece surface reduces DTG detail.
Embroidery
Excellent
Midweight-plus fabric supports dense stitch counts without distortion.
- Lightweight or performance knit — use a stabilizer/backing to prevent puckering.
- Lofted fleece — a water-soluble topping keeps small lettering from sinking.
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.
- 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.
