Factor 5
What is the
diameter
of the yarn
used in the
garment?
iner knits create a smoother surface for printing. Thus the yarn
diameter has a significant impact on how well a shirt accepts a
digital print. Higher singles weights, such as 30, perform better
and are more desirable than lower weights because the diameter
is smaller. A smaller diameter provides a flatter base for printing
on than a larger diameter.
"The bulk of our business is between 20 and 30 singles," says White. "They're
both great for DTG printing. If I had to, I would give a bit of a nod to 30 singles
being slightly better than the 20."
