Many friends will encounter a torn point when customizing cultural shirts.

The white bottom shirt is clean and versatile, but if you want to print a dark pattern, you are worried about the color-penetrating rollover. Today we will make this problem completely clear.

Let's talk about the conclusion first: whether it will be transparent or not depends on three key points.

First, look at the fabric weight and weaving method.

If the white base material is too thin and the weaving method is too sparse, after the dark paste is printed, the base color will easily penetrate between the fiber gaps. Generally, it is recommended to choose more than 180 grams of combed cotton, which is tightly woven and the risk of color transmission will be greatly reduced.

Second, look at the printing process.

This is the core factor. Common dark pattern printing methods are:

Screen printing: When the glue prints dark colors, if the white background is not thick enough, it may indeed be transparent. But professional manufacturers will solve it by playing the white background and printing it twice to make the dark pattern saturated and impervious.

Heat transfer: Dark patterns are transferred to a white background, and the edges are easy to become weak, especially on light-colored fabrics, which is not recommended.

Digital direct injection: spray dark on the white-bottomed shirt, the ink penetration is properly controlled, and the effect is very stable. But the premise is that the pretreatment is in place.

Third, look at the color contrast.

Deep navy, burgundy, dark green and other colors are easier to penetrate than pure black. Because pure black has the strongest coverage, and dark colors with blues or reds have higher requirements for covering the white background.

How to avoid pits when actually customizing?

? Ask the gram weight when choosing fabrics, don't just look at the price.

? Proofing to confirm, don't be too troublesome. Looking at the sample is 100 times more reliable than looking at the screen.

Find an experienced manufacturer who knows the process parameters.

Speaking of experience, Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. has been customizing cultural shirts for many years, and has a mature process from fabric screening to printing and debugging. When they encounter the need to print dark patterns on a white background, they will first recommend the appropriate process according to the pattern area and color, and then make samples to confirm, and try to solve the color transmission problem at the source. After all, no one wants to receive a batch of clothes and find that the pattern is too transparent to wear.

In addition, a reminder is that color transmission is also related to the wearing scene. If it is only worn for daily activities, a slight penetration may not be obvious. But if you want to take pictures in strong light and go on stage, you must strictly check it.

To sum up: the dark pattern printed on the white bottom is not necessarily transparent, but it must be prevented in advance. Choose the right fabric, choose the right process, and choose the right manufacturer. If the three things are done properly, it will basically not roll over.



If you are preparing a custom cultural shirt, you may wish to send the pattern and quantity to the manufacturer for evaluation first. Ask more and step on one less pit.
