Fabric Guide

Polyester bases are printed using dye sublimation — the design is dyed directly into the fabric for a smooth finish with no added texture.

Natural fiber bases use an eco-friendly pigment printing method with organic, certified inks. This process delivers vibrant, detailed designs while saving dozens of gallons of water per yard compared to traditional methods.

Because natural fiber bases are not dyed, heavy ink coverage may affect handfeel. For dark or highly saturated designs, we strongly recommend a polyester base.

⚠️ We do not recommend dark backgrounds on natural fiber bases. Full coverage designs will change the handfeel of the fabric. For best results with dark or saturated designs, choose a synthetic base.
