We recently broke down everything you need to know about some of the top fabrications we offer at kingteeshops Swanky Wolverine MIM Men In Maizen Area 50 1 Shirt . And now we’re here to explain how different printing techniques pair with each of those fabrics. Below is your ultimate printing guide that we outline in detail in this post!

As we continue to mention, we only use 100% combed and ring-spun cotton at kingteeshops – meaning, the highest quality thread with the least amount of impurities Swanky Wolverine MIM Men In Maizen Area 50 1 Shirt . That means our 100% cotton garments have an ideal printing surface. You can pretty much do everything with cotton, which is why it’s such a favorite among decorators. It’s also a great fabric to use if you’re just getting started, since it’s so straight-forward to work with. We recommend all printing inks and methods, except for sublimation (because that only works with polyester fabric). Our cotton tees are great for plastisol, water based and discharge ink. The only colors you need to be careful with for discharge are true royal, kelly green and purple, which are notoriously difficult for discharge. Heat press also works wonderfully, and our 100% cotton tee is the best shirt you can get for direct-to-garment printing or (DTG Printing). Our Heather CVC garments are made up of 52% combed and ring-spun cotton and 48% polyester. Typically when working with plastisol ink on heathers, you often have to worry about dye migration, which is when the polyester dye from the shirt shows through the ink. But at BELLA+CANVAS, we did extensive testing on our Heather CVC fabric and have found virtually no dye migration issues with our heathers. The great news for screen printers out there is that we determined our heathers work nearly just as well with cotton ink as they do with inks that have a poly blocker in it. Water based printing really depends on the color of the garment versus the fabrication. That means a light-colored Heather CVC will print with water based ink very similarly to a light-colored solid. Since discharge ink only interacts with the cotton fibers, you’re not going to get as bright of a result on a blend as you would with a 100% cotton garment.
