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.

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.

Sublimation

Conditional

Partial polyester content gives muted, distressed color rather than full saturation.

  • Cotton content will not hold sublimation dye — expect a faded, vintage result.

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

Terms used on this page

Recycled Polyester (rPET)
Recycled polyester (rPET) is polyester fiber re-extruded from reclaimed plastic, mostly PET bottles, performing like virgin poly while supporting a garment's sustainability claim.
Ringspun Cotton
Ringspun cotton is yarn spun by twisting cotton fibers into a smooth, tightly wound strand, giving fabric a softer hand and finer print surface than open-end cotton.
Rayon (Viscose)
Rayon (viscose) is a semi-synthetic fiber made by dissolving wood pulp cellulose and re-spinning it into filament, prized for a silky drape neither cotton nor polyester can match.
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.
Canvas (Duck Cloth)
Canvas (duck cloth) is a heavy plain-weave cotton or cotton-blend fabric, typically 7-12 oz, used for totes, aprons, and workwear beyond t-shirts.
Tear-Away Label
A tear-away label is a neck or side-seam tag stitched along a single perforated line so it pulls out cleanly by hand for private labeling.
