FAQ
How does the 6% spandex affect the fabric's durability and stretch?
The addition of 6% spandex, a synthetic polymer known for its exceptional elasticity, provides the fabric with significant stretch and recovery. This percentage is specifically engineered to offer a comfortable fit and flexibility without compromising the fabric's structural integrity or appearance. This composition ensures that garments can withstand repeated stretching and return to their original shape, making it suitable for high-wear items like sports apparel.
What printing methods are compatible with this polyester spandex fabric?
Due to its high polyester content, this fabric is optimally suited for dye sublimation printing. This process bonds the ink to the fabric fibers at a molecular level, resulting in sharp, vibrant, and durable prints that will not crack or fade over time. While other methods like screen printing or direct-to-garment (DTG) printing may be used, dye sublimation is recommended to achieve the best color saturation and print longevity on this specific material.
