The first t-shirt is made of 90% polyester and 10% other filler and the second t-shirt is made of 80% polyester and 20% other filler.

Always sublimation printing result will be better on the first t-shirt because of polyester component is higher. The reason behind it is only polyester components accept dye-sublimation ink during heat transfer and filler does not.

Polymer Coated Surface

Any hard stuff (metal, wood, glass, plastic, stone, ceramic) but able to accept heat up to 300-400⁰F coated with a thick layer of polymer can be sublimated to produce better quality printing for customized printing. for example MDF Coasters, Plaques, Ceramic Mugs, etc. During sublimation printing, the only top layer of hard stuff polymer coating pores accept dye ink and make a permanent bonding with polymer coatings.

The temperature and time of transferring dye sublimation ink vary from sublimation blank substrate to substrate.
