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.

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

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.
Combed Cotton
Combed cotton is fiber mechanically combed after carding to remove short fibers and debris, producing a smoother, straighter strand for finer fabric.
Side Vents (Split Hem)
Side vents, or split hem, are small slits left open at the bottom of a shirt's side seams, adding ease of movement and a retail-styled look.
