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.

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

DTG printing

Excellent

High-cotton smooth knit is the ideal DTG substrate.

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.

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.

Terms used on this page

Jersey Knit
Jersey knit is a single-knit fabric construction, smooth on the face and textured on the back, used for nearly every t-shirt at 4.2 to 6.1 ounces per yard.
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.
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.
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.
Reactive dye
Reactive dye is a cotton dye class that forms a permanent chemical bond with the fiber, giving bright color that resists fading, bleeding, and repeated washing.
Shrinkage
Shrinkage is how much a garment tightens after washing and drying — untreated cotton can lose up to 5% in length, preshrunk fabric less.
