shirts for sublimation - I am considering starting sublimation and trying to look into the garment products. I saw posts that Zorrel makes some shirts that work well. Are there only a couple of brands of shirts that I will be able to use?

When I went to the Zorrel site there were many cotton shirts. I assume these are not the sublimation shirts. Is there an easy way to find only sub shirts?

you can sublimate on any 100% polyester white/light shirt.. A lot of us use vapor ware...and they come in white, blue, yellow, gray and pink...they work very well. Hanes no longer manufactures the poly shirts. BTW...walmart has some 100% poly shirts with colored collar yokes...about 6.50 USD

For vaporware, I use www.Johnsonplastics.com have several offices in US

Just contact Zorrel and ask them which of their shirts are not 100% cotton.

They should be able tos end you a catalog.

Or if you keep reading through the product descriptions, you'll find the moisture wicking t-shirts on their site that don't have cotton in them.

Hi. For sublimation you need polyster shirts, or poly cotton shirts with a mix of at least 65 percent polyester. You cannot sublimate onto normal cotton shirts, as it needs the polyster content as part of the sublimation process.

Vapor is one of the main producers of sublimation garments. A quick 'google' will bring up the stockists for you. Also 'googling sublimation supplies will bring up most of the mainstream stockists of other brands for you as well.

Hope this helps.

Where did you see this? Colorwise, they look great. The fabric cannot handle the temps (at least the textured syntrel).

Look at their 'athlete' series. Z500, Z800, Ill110 are all textured weaves. Z1050, Z1051 are microfiber. There are others, look at their catalog.

Anything that says 'Dri-Balance' is a poly/cotton blend which is very comfortable to wear, but won't sublimate well.

We use a lot of the 1050 line. It is a thinner fabric...more of an athletic feel...and priced right (under $5). I love the Z500 fabric, but have not had any success sublimating because the texture of the fabric gets crushed even with very light pressure.
