Sublimation T-Shirt Printing Questions and Answers.

These answers cover the usual starting points. Product availability, branding compatibility, pricing and delivery are confirmed against the final brief.

01

Can you sublimate a black cotton T-shirt?

No. Standard dye sublimation requires compatible polyester and does not lay opaque ink over dark cotton.

02

Does sublimation crack or peel?

The dye becomes part of compatible fibre rather than a surface film, but garment care and fabric quality still matter.

03

Can artwork cross seams?

It can, but registration at seams and joins has practical tolerances that must be considered.

04

Is every polyester shirt suitable?

No. Fibre content alone does not guarantee the garment construction and colour are suitable.
