    I’m just starting out at the moment and looking for advice

    I came across these tshirts and was hoping that I could sub onto them, I need other colours apart from white and light blue sub tshirts so is there anyway of subing onto 100% cotton tshirts? if so do you still get the same result??

    Thanx for any advice 😀

    Hi
    Sublimation will only work on materials with a polymer-based surface. You can coat virtually anything with a polymer-based surface and can buy items ranging from t-shirts to metal plaques that will take sublimation prints. Sadly it will not work on 100% cotton.

    So what’s my best option if I’m wanting to print onto a red or royal blue tshirt??

    Is there a supplier for poly based tshirts in different colours??

    Have a look at http://www.thetransferpress.co.uk
    They are now suppliers for the Vapor Aparrel performance shirts for dye sublimation. A new material, different styles and colours. I,ve not tried them yet but read good things about them.
    Cheers
