If everything's set up properly, printer, profile, press etc. then you should get an extremely good print, very bright and clear.

Hi, as Justin says as long as you have your printer and profiles set up correctly and applied to your graphics software you should get some great results. Different papers can give different results and some are more suited to certain printers than others. Let us know if you give it a try and what results you get, thanks Kerry.

There are several different materials for t-shirts and each give excellent results but some are slightly better than others.

In the t-shirt range there are SubliSoft, Subli-T, Subli-T Plus and Vapour. Subli-T Plus is a new fabric which is more cotton in it's feel and slightly lighter in weight to the outgoing Subli-T range. We have in stock child, adult and ladies V in the new Subli-T Plus range (although the latter two are not on our website yet). Out of the four, vapour is the thinest and all give good results.

Then you move to the sports styles like sports vests and sports tshirts/ polos. These give, imho, more vibrant results as the material is (a) 100% polyester and (b) slightly brighter white and thinner, but the thinness isn't to everyones appeal as they are more of a sports garment than a t-shirt material. The sports style t-shirt is available in child and adult sizes as well.

Probably one of the poorest quality of image transfer is the pique style polo shirts. Sublimation transfer, again imho, transfers best onto flat fabric whereas the pique style is, well pique (made up of lots of indents in the fabric). You'll get acceptable results but you may need to use high release sublimation paper to get the best vibrancy on the pique style.
