Important Aspects of Screen printed Hoodies
2

• There are some important aspects that
  individuals interested in having a screen printed
  hoodie customized as per their choice, need to be
  aware of.

3

•  Placement Of Design
• Hoodies offer a great choice of options for
  placing the design selected by the individuals.  
• At the same time, some features of hoodies can
  interfere with screen printing, which is why it
  is important for the wearers to carefully
  consider the placement of the design for getting
  the desired look.
• They should configure the design so that it is
  not impacted by the features of the hoodie or
  impact the general appeal of the design itself. 

4

• Choice Of The Garment
• Most hoodies available in the market today are
  made from synthetic blended fabrics or even 100
  synthetic fabrics. 
• These fabrics suffer from a major drawback, which
  is that they tend to shrink rapidly when exposed
  to high temperatures.
•  It is recommended for the wearers to opt for
  hoodies made from 100 cotton fabric or cotton
  fabric blend for custom screen printing of their
  chosen artwork on them.

5

• Increase The Off-Contact Distance
• It is a well-known fact that hoodies are made
  from a significantly thicker fabric as compared
  to customized t-shirts.
• This means that to get a clean and crisp print,
  the off-contact distance needs to be adjusted
  according to the thickness of the garment. In
  general, the off-contact distance should be
  doubled while printing on a hoodie or a
  sweatshirt.

6

• Avoid Dye Migration
• Screen printing on hoodies with a large
  percentage of the synthetic blended fabric has a
  higher risk of dye migration.  
• This essentially means that the chances of the
  dye leaking out of the substrate and altering the
  ink color if the substrate overheats are quite
  high.
• The best way to prevent this is by lowering the
  curing temperature and decreasing the speed of
  the conveyor dryer belt.
