At Wallatees, we understand that the perfect silk screen print begins with the perfect t-shirt. Choosing the right t-shirt can greatly influence the outcome of your printed designs. Here are key factors and recommended brands that ensure top-quality prints every time.
1. Fabric Composition We prefer t-shirts that are 100% cotton for their excellent ink absorption and smooth finish, essential for vibrant and lasting prints. For those looking for a budget-friendly option, cotton blends also offer good results.
2. Thread Count and Weight Opt for higher thread count t-shirts at Wallatees for their finer texture, which is ideal for capturing intricate details in your design. We recommend a balance between comfort and functionality, choosing medium-weight t-shirts that provide both durability and ease of wear.
3. Color and Pre-Treatment Choose from a wide range of light-colored t-shirts for easier printing, or let us handle the pre-treatment of darker fabrics to ensure your designs pop and last long.
