Not very well as sublimation inks ONLY bond with polyester. Sublimation t shirts have the polyester on top of the cotton fibres meaning all the surface area takes sub ink. A standard 50/50 shirt will look faded in comparison wwhen printed as (a) the fibres are mixed and sub inks only bond & get vibrant with polyester and (b) the inks will wash out of the cotton fibres when washed as they have not bonded.
