T-shirt with a print is a way to stand out from the crowd. You can print a unique picture on it that will reflect your individuality! And to get a quality result, it is important to choose the fabric correctly. Some methods are not suitable for printing on cotton T-shirts. For example, only synthetic fabric is suitable for sublimation printing. In this article we will look at how to make a print on a T-shirt and tell you about the types of fabrics and their advantages. We will prove to you that plain textile can be bright and expressive!
Two types of fabric are used in production - natural and synthetic. Cotton is suitable for printing images by screen printing, embroidery, hand painting, and also heat transfer. Customers value such textile for its breathable material, neat tailoring and affordable price. For applying a picture by sublimation, light single-layer polyester fabrics or two-layer "sandwich" fabrics, which are more comfortable for the body, are suitable.
- Single-layer knit jersey (100% polyester). A sublimation material that absorbs and retains ink well. The items come out light, with images that are resistant to washing. You can buy white T-shirts without a design. And if you want to decorate them with a picture, we will tell you how.
- Two-layer knit jersey (cotton/polyester 50/50%). A composite material with a special "sandwich" weave. Synthetic threads suitable for sublimation are brought to the front side, and cotton ones to the reverse side, which sits against the body. The higher density provides increased color brightness.

How long does sublimation last on a T-shirt
Sublimation printing on fabric is currently the most popular way of applying a picture to clothing, hoodies, sweatshirts and other textiles. This printing method makes it possible to create quality prints at very affordable prices. The secret of this technology's quality lies in the way the dye is applied: under the action of high temperature and pressure it turns into a gaseous state and penetrates the fibers of the fabric, thanks to which the print withstands many washes (100-150 washes) and does not fade over time.
Heat transfer makes it possible to create high-quality pictures and photos on the item with bright and natural color transitions. Synthetic threads are one of the main conditions for sublimation printing on clothing. The more synthetic, the better! This technology will not work on cotton, linen and other natural fabrics, since the more natural the material, the paler the image will be. Polyester is considered the best fabric for sublimation, and its density and thickness do not affect the quality of the picture.
Sublimation printing is used very widely. Clothing with such printing can become an original and inexpensive gift for friends, relatives and colleagues. Textiles with emblems and logos are actively used in advertising campaigns, cultural and sporting events, and also as uniforms for large numbers of employees. This technology uses environmentally friendly inks that are safe for health.
