Choosing a printing method starts with the fabric, not the design. Each fabric bonds best with specific inks, so matching the two upfront prevents cracking, fading, and dull color. Use this quick guide to pair the right method with the right material before you place an order.
- Cotton: DTG or screen printing for clean, absorbed ink
- Polyester: Sublimation or DTF for prints that won't wash out
- Blends: DTF or screen printing handle mixed fibers well
- Dark garments: DTF or screen printing with a white base for bright color
