NO BASE
WITH BASE

POLYESTER FABRICS
In some circumstances your order may need an additional Poly Base. When printing onto polyester garments the dyes in the fabric can cause the ink colours to sublimate. For example, a white print on a red polyester garment will sublimate and turn pink in colour, and a white print on a black polyester garment will sublimate to a grey colour. The Poly Base blocks this reaction from happening so your print colours remain true to colour, and stay bright and vibrant on polyester fabrics.
