FAQ
Questions, answered.
Why only polyester?
Sublimation dye bonds to polyester fibres. Cotton won't take it.
Can it be printed on black fabric?
No. The fabric starts white and the design, including black, is printed in.
Can each shirt have a different name and number?
Yes, printed into each garment's panels from your roster.
Is it only for team kits?
It's also used for leggings, running tops and all-over printed activewear.
