Agree 100%... I have customer request the 8000's for either summer months or if they do not want them to shrink as much.Troy: A question for you....Do you find that more people are asking for the lighter weight? I promoted the 200 for its heavy duty and 100% cotton and a lot of customers say it's to heavy. Go figure. What's your opinion?
I don't really know anything about DTG, but I would think that 8000's would be better option then (if DTG will print on 50/50). In my mind 5000's and 8000's are equal with the exception the 50/50 8000's will not shrink as much as a 100% cotton.We do DTG printing mostly these days.
I thought the lighter weight might be better for summer weather but quality of the shirt and print is the most important.
DTG printers require 70-80% cotton content or higher, the higher the cotton content the better looking the print since the textile ink will only adhere to the cotton.I don't really know anything about DTG, but I would think that 8000's would be better option then (if DTG will print on 50/50).
