Re: Dye sublimating clothing

I have been asked for a quote for sweatshirts/hoodies and polo shirts. Normally I do these in hot flex, but they have also asked me to include a colour quote.
am I right in thinking that whereas I can press flex on most things, I need poly/cotton or just polyester for sublimation? If so, is there a percentage for poly/cotton or is it, try it and see?

Dye Sub only sticks to polyester so the higher the content the better the image will look as when washed it will wash away/run from the cotton part of the tee

You could print onto subli-flock to get full colour images onto dark garments.
