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.
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.
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.
Embroidery
Conditional
Very light fabric can pucker under dense designs — keep stitch counts modest and stabilize well.
- Lightweight or performance knit — use a stabilizer/backing to prevent puckering.
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.
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.
- 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.
- Singles (Yarn Count)
- Singles is the yarn-count system where a higher number, like 30/1, means finer, thinner yarn, and a lower number, like 18/1, means thicker, coarser yarn.
- Retail Fit
- Retail fit is a softer, slimmer, side-seamed T-shirt style built to drape and feel like a mall-brand shirt rather than a boxy promotional blank.
- Heather Fabric
- Heather fabric is knit or woven from a blend of dyed and undyed fiber, creating a mottled two-tone look that usually signals polyester content.
- Tri-Blend
- Tri-blend fabric mixes cotton, polyester, and rayon in one yarn, producing an especially soft, drapey tee with a naturally heathered, faded print look.
