It can also be used for a range of merchandise and décor production applications including tote bags, tea towels, pillow slips, cushions, etc. It can further be used for customization on specialty items such as caps, hats and shoes . The ink adheres best to fabric with a moderate-loose weave and high cotton content. It will also work with a range of alternative natural, man-made, and mixed fiber fabrics, however results will vary with customers strongly recommended to perform print and wash durability testing prior to commencement of production.
