Decoration compatibility

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

Cotton-dominant knit takes plastisol and water-based ink cleanly with standard cure settings.

  • Stretch content — use an ink with good elongation to avoid cracking.

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

DTG printing

Excellent

High-cotton smooth knit is the ideal DTG substrate.

Embroidery

Excellent

Midweight-plus fabric supports dense stitch counts without distortion.

  • Stretch fabric — hoop with light tension and use a ballpoint needle.

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.
