Behind the Print - Episode 7 | Polyester and DTG

Описание: Zac Biberstine from M&R breaks down the real challenges of Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing on polyester and why it’s not as straightforward as some industry claims suggest. He explains how fabric composition, dye types, and garment color—especially dark or sublimated polyester—can drastically impact print quality and overall production success.

Zac also touches on where M&R’s S4 system fits into the conversation, noting that while it can handle certain blends and low- to mid-energy dyed cottons, M&R avoids making broad promises about DTG on polyester. Instead, the focus remains on delivering repeatable, predictable, and scalable manufacturing results.

If you’ve heard bold claims about DTG printing on polyester, this discussion offers a reality check. While one-off prints may be possible on select polyester garments, consistent production runs often lead to high reject rates, increased downtime, and variability tied to garment dyeing—making true reliability a challenge.
