Benton Trophy Online - The Sublimation Apparel Difference

Can I bring in my own shirts for you to print on?

The answer to this question is yes and no. It can often be done, however we do not suggest it as most apparel is made of 100% cotton or 50/50 and will not hold the dye properly. 100% cotton will not hold the dye at all, once it is washed. The problem with bringing in your own shirts is that we cannot guarantee how long the print will last or even if it will print without ruining a perfectly good shirt. The below picture is how the material can make a huge print difference.

This print was done for a friend of ours on some of his 50/50 shirts and our Soft L'ink Shirts. The shirt on the left is our Soft L'ink line and the image on the left is a 50/50 blend.

If you look closely at the colors on the shirt on the left they are clearly more vibrant and crisp,. Now if you look at the shirt on the right you will notice that the colors are definitely there however they have a more washed out and blurry look to them. The reasoning for this is that our dye need to bond into a man made fiber (polyester form) to maintain it durability. What the outcome will be is that the portions of the material that are not polyester will not stretch properly and you will be able to see where the stretching has occurred.

They are made of a revolutionary 6 oz. two-sided diamond knit material. The outer shell is made of 100% micro-polyester while the inner shell is made of 100% super-soft cotton. Preshrunk to minimize shrinkage.

What sets this apart from various screen printing format shirts, is that it is made for the sublimation process specifically. The polyester is perfect for the most vibrant full color print available and the cotton feels extra soft and great against the skin. Sublimated shirts leave a permanent vivid image without the normal transfer feel.

This is accomplished using a special digital transfer dye that actually penetrates into the polyester itself. The only way to ruin the transfer is by causing permanent damage to the material itself. A sublimation print will not crack, peel, flake or fade off like a standard transfer or screen-printed shirt.

While prices are more expensive than a standard screen-printed shirt, sublimated prints will hold the color longer and have an outstanding quality diamond knit construction by none other than Hanes.
