Sublimation Shirts FAQs
What Shirt Is Best for Sublimation?
The best material for a sublimation shirt is polyester. Sublimation printing requires polyester for the heat-activated ink to bond with the shirt fabric. While polyester fabric blends can sometimes work, you’ll get the cleanest, brightest results with white sublimation shirts that are 100% polyester.
Can You Use Any Shirt for Sublimation?
No, sublimation requires polyester for the ink to bond. You can use 100% polyester shirts or fabric blends with at least 65% polyester. The higher the polyester content, the more vibrant and long-lasting the finished design will be.
Where Can I Buy the Best Shirts for Sublimation?
The right blank shirts for sublimation will be 100% polyester, preferably white or light-colored. The Stainless Depot Company offers dye-sublimation shirts for crafters, custom apparel businesses, and anyone looking to create vibrant custom t-shirts.
Can You Sublimate Colored Shirts?
While you can sublimate on colored shirts, the shirt color will affect the printed design. Sublimation ink is transparent and does not contain white ink, so the shirt color shows through the design or may mix with the artwork’s colors. Dark-colored shirts are especially difficult to sublimate because the darker fabric can overpower the colors in the design, making them appear muted. Sublimate on white or light-colored shirts for the best results.
Where Can I Buy Blank Sublimation Shirts Wholesale?
You can buy high-quality sublimation shirts in bulk from The Stainless Depot Company. While most of our shirts are packaged individually, they feature wholesale pricing, making it easy to stock up. Additionally, we feature bulk bleached shirts that are perfect for apparel crafters.
How Do I Create Custom Sublimation Shirts at Home?
To create custom sublimation shirts, you will print a design using a sublimation printer and ink. Next, position the transfer on the shirt, secure it in place, and use a heat press with a flat platen to apply heat and pressure, bonding the sublimation ink to the polyester fibers.
