Choose a smooth cotton face
Sample combed or smooth jersey if small details matter. Compare how black artwork looks on natural and white blanks. Check the stated blend on marls separately and verify compatibility with your printer.
Test pretreatment on the actual colour
Use the pretreatment, application and curing instructions for your printer and ink. Check dark samples for visible pretreatment marks and test white ink coverage before continuing. Keep the print area flat and clear of the collar and seams.
Check colour and hand feel after washing
Judge the print on the garment itself. Approve a sample for colour, detail and feel, then wash it using the agreed care instructions and inspect the result under neutral light.
