Normally we use Vapor Apparel for sublimation, but recently received a complaint about the white shirts being too thin/see-through.
Have tried the Hanes SofTlinks in the past but did not care for the cut or feel of the shirt (and now that they have been discontinued, really isn't an option).
What else is out there that would be close to a regular T-shirt feel (clients never seem to like any the performance T's we stock samples for)?
Any luck with a 50/50 to high poly content T sublimating a good quality image? And pics of examples would really help if you have them.
Trouble with most cotton poly mixes is that some of the colour will wash out of the cotton component on the first wash. You do need to make potential customers aware of this fact, as the 'fading' can be quite significant with some of the mixed fabric tees.
i like to use the augusta drifit shirts, i sell them to alot of different sport teams. I know what you mean about the vapors being see-thru, ive had that complaint also. When i was at the imprintables show in atlantic city this past spring, i spoke to the vapor guy and asked him about them making a shirt that is heavier and more of a fitting style, they said they are in the works apparently, but havent seen or heard anything since.
Hi the vapor shirts are thin. I did a bunch of white shirt for a bar having a wet t-shirt contest. Well the white vapor shirt wet and a camera with flash and the in the photos the girls seem to have nothing on all is exposed. Now I now why most girls don't want poly white shirts.
The Vapor tees are 6oz wich is pretty heavy. The Hanes Beefy tee is only 6.1. I think the fact that it is Poly has alot to do with the feel and see thru. It's the thickest 100% I have ever used as far as t-shirts go but it is definately still see thru. Vapor is coming out with alot more stuff. Check out all the new colrs they have for child sizes.
