01 Tees & Tops
Tri-Blend Tee
A soft, drapey 150 gsm heather. Expect a vintage, slightly washed print rather than a hard opaque block. Colour shift on this body is normal, not a defect.

Printing is charged on top of the garment and depends on the method, how many positions you print, and how many colours are in the artwork. The studio quotes the two together, calculated on our server. How the bands work.

Colour names describe the garment as dyed. Screen rendering of a colour name is not a colour match, and printed ink on that garment is a separate approximation again. How we handle colour
What limits this body
- Heathered ground. Ink colour shifts more on this body than on solid cotton, and the shift is more visible on light inks.
- Not compatible with direct-to-garment. The blend sits at 25% cotton.
- Polyester fraction can bleed into light inks at cure temperature; we underbase to control it, which slightly softens fine detail.
Where it can be printed
- Front centre12 x 16 in / 30.5 x 40.6 cm
- Back centre12 x 16 in / 30.5 x 40.6 cm
- Left chest4 x 4 in / 10.2 x 10.2 cm
- Sleeve3.5 x 3.5 in / 8.9 x 8.9 cm
Dashed edge is the printable boundary. The inner line is the safety margin, and artwork that crosses it risks landing on a seam or a hem. Placement tolerance on press is plus or minus 3 mm.
| Position | Maximum, inches | Maximum, centimetres |
|---|---|---|
| Front centre | 12 x 16 | 30.5 x 40.6 |
| Back centre | 12 x 16 | 30.5 x 40.6 |
| Left chest | 4 x 4 | 10.2 x 10.2 |
| Sleeve | 3.5 x 3.5 | 8.9 x 8.9 |
Method limits apply on top of these. Embroidery, for example, works to a 4 by 4 inch field regardless of how large the garment position is. The studio applies whichever limit is smaller and tells you which one it used.
Methods that run on tri-blend knit
4 of 6 methods are available on this fabric. The rest are listed below with the physical reason they are not. Nothing in this list changes after you place an order.
Available
- M1Screen Printfrom 12 pieces
Up to 6 spot colours per position · up to 12 x 16 in
The polyester in a tri-blend can migrate into light ink at cure temperature. We print an underbase to hold it back, which softens fine detail slightly.
- M3DTF Transfer Filmfrom 1 piece
Full colour, no colour count · up to 11 x 14 in
- M4Embroideryfrom 6 pieces
Up to 12 thread colours per design · up to 4 x 4 in
Lightweight tri-blend needs cut-away backing behind the stitch. You will feel a stiffened patch on the inside of the garment.
- M5Heat Transfer Vinylfrom 1 piece
Single colour, or layered up to 3 colours · up to 11 x 14 in
Not available on this fabric
- M2DTG Direct-to-GarmentBlocked
Direct-to-garment pigment bonds to cotton fibre. A tri-blend is 25% cotton, so three quarters of the surface has nothing for the ink to hold onto and the print washes out unevenly.
- M6SublimationBlocked
Half the fibre is polyester and half is not. The result is a washed-out image at roughly half strength, which we will not ship.
Measurements
Adult tees and tanks. All figures are measured flat and doubled where relevant. Tolerance is plus or minus 1 cm. A garment measuring inside that tolerance matches its label.
