Waterbased Formula
Multi-fabric formula for the next generation of garment decoration
Our waterbased ink has a super soft velvet-like feel that stretches and rebounds unlike any other. Applies to cotton, poly-cotton blends, polyester, synthetic fabrics containing Lycra®, Spandex, or elastane, and even non-woven fabrics. Plus, unlike our competitors, we don't charge extra for our proprietary Dye Migration Blocker, which is a backer that stops migration without adding thickness.
Finally, a Scorch-Free Formula for Most Garment Types

Set Your Sheet Size
Send your artwork at the exact size that you want it to print. For example, If you select a 9"x12.75" sheet, but upload an image that's 8"x8", we will print your image at the size you uploaded (8"x8").
Submit your artwork right-reading (as it would look when applied to a garment). Our artists will mirror the image for you.
Proper Art Prep Is Crucial
To ensure fine details in your image print clearly make sure that the smallest areas are at least as thick as the minimum print tolerance
Dye Migration Blocker
Minimum Line/Area Thickness
For your transfers to receive the Dye Migration Blocker,
your artwork will need to be a minimum of
5 points or 0.0694 of an inch.
Anything less than 5 points will not receive a Dye Migration Blocker.
White Backer Only (No Dye Migration Blocker)
Minimum Line/Area Thickness
Your artwork will only receive the white backer
(no Dye Migration Blocker,) if your artwork is
3 points or 0.0416 of an inch.
Anything less than 3 points will not receive a backer of any kind.
Negative Space
Minimum Line/Area Thickness
To prevent issues with your artwork becoming muddy/unclear,
your artwork will need to have a minimum of
2 points or 0.0277 of an inch between positive spaces.
