Airbourne A Logo T-shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt

In general, people want as many options – from fabrics to cuts – as possible Airbourne A Logo T-shirt . Customers, and printers alike, don’t want to be limited to just a standard 100% cotton t-shirt. Also, a lot of printers we work believe there’s been a big shift in the industry towards a softer, lighter weight garment. In this video, we teamed up with The Dream Junction and Kornit to get some insider tips on printing on kingteeshops blends. The Dream Junction, one of the largest DTG printers in Southern California, spent more than four years testing different garments to get the best results. At The Dream Junction, where they print up to 15,000 T-shirts a day, each tee prints with specific levels. First, the machine needs to be adjusted to the right pretreat level, which can range from 1% up to 200% saturation. Then, the ink level has to pair correctly with the percentage of saturation from the pretreat. Finally, there’s a drying setting on top of that. The Dream Junction continues to test different types of fabrics. When given a new T-shirt, their team adjusts each printing variable by tiny amounts until they land on the best result possible. Those settings are then stored in the machine and pulled up whenever that exact style is scanned.
