Decoration compatibility

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

Blended fabric prints reliably; match the ink system to the dominant fiber.

  • 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.

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

  • Lofted fleece surface — press with slightly higher pressure for full transfer contact.

Cotton-rich blend prints acceptably; expect a softer, more vintage result than 100% cotton.

  • 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.

  • Lofted fleece — a water-soluble topping keeps small lettering from sinking.

Standard HTV and transfers apply well at the correct temperature for this fiber mix.

Sublimation

Not Recommended

Cotton-dominant fabric does not bond sublimation dye.

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