Choosing the Right Garment for Printing
- 100% Ringspun Cotton: This is the most popular choice for general use. It is soft, breathable, and provides a smooth surface for both screen printing and DTG.
- Polyester Blends: Often used for athleisure or performance wear, these fabrics are moisture-wicking and durable. They are best suited for sublimation or specific vinyl applications.
- Tri-Blends: A mix of cotton, polyester, and rayon, these shirts offer a vintage feel and extreme comfort, though they require careful consideration regarding ink transparency.
