Start with the print surface
Check the exact colour and fabric specification. A cotton jersey tee, a brushed hoodie and a piqué polo need different artwork placement and settings. Print a small sample in your intended colour before placing a bulk order.
Choose a method
Screen printing suits repeat runs, and DTG can suit detailed artwork on a smooth cotton surface. Ask your printer about pretreatment for dark fabrics. For DTF, follow the transfer supplier’s press settings and test for press marks.
Wash the sample
Wash once according to the garment care instructions and check adhesion, shrinkage and colour. Save the garment code, colour, size and settings so you can repeat the result.
