Staying Updated With The Leisure T-Shirts Trend And Technology

These days there are various new trends coming up in the market related to fancy t-shirts. Which includes heat transfer and sublimation clothing printing applications which is spreading its arm in the trending athleisure apparel available in the market.

This is more than just for the t-shirts since the same can be seen with the yoga pants, track pants, tops, and much more.

Whenever someone says fashion is comfort then you have to believe them no matter what especially these days when the fashion world is bringing out a perfect combination of comfort, fashion essence, and styling.

This way it seems to fit pretty well by the pace the lifestyle is running now and they can inculcate athleisure apparel in their daily routine which will provide you much more than comforts such as quick-drying, odor resistance, moisture-wicking, and durability. 

Apart from this, prints play a key role in the process for such apparel and more consumers are putting in their demand for the same.

Since t-shirts always stay in trend, this was a safe bet to go within sportswear so that the munch needed comfort can be provided in the daily usage of wearing without going over the board as the trendy athleisure t-shirts still look subtle in daily usage.

However, the dye sublimation printing or heat transfer also comes into the applications and being of the key process in the application on t-shirts apart from the usual digital or screen printing process.

These new techniques are helping up in bringing the shape of the athleisure apparels which is more than t-shirts and is now included with yoga pants, track pants, tops and more. 

It is also a common belief that in the worldwide market, t-shirt still holds quite a large park especially in the athleisure apparels which gives a tremendous revenue every year.

We got in touch with various popular designers and consultors and talked about the current trends going in heat transfer and sublimation.

Let’s look at some of the key factors which turned out of these conversations and how you could be more aware of the same:

1. When it comes to athleisure, what are the actual trends which came in recently in sublimation and heat transfer applications?

Amongst all, poly clear gloss sublimation printing stands tall as it came out on top with the most emerging applications out of all.

Heat setting done in this method can bring more texture to the item where the dimensions could be changed. Other than that, the other big trends are metallic and foils which will be evident in the fashion world 2021.

Foiling can be applied through the heat setting process of sublimation printing t-shirt.

If you want, you can also use new foil inks which can be used and applied directly to the heat set papers. Fusing the foil to fabric is the whole process of it. Other than this, gradients are also a popular choice in the market.

2. What are the current stats of technology in the market which helps in the quick formation of these trends throughout the market and that too with the sustainability of long period?

Large companies are capitalizing on the features of DTG or direct-to-fabric where they can expand the color ranges which designers have been struggling to achieve with the dye sub-paper process.

The color shades and flesh tones come out to give better results than before. The advantage here which you capitalize on with a direct-to-fabric or garment print is having better saturation compared to fibers.

You can also add a white part with the direct-to-garment method. Any organization that relies on keeping the background dark or fabric still has the potential to achieve white.

Although, this process of direct-to-fabric or garment might turn out to be a little expensive in your pocket.

However, there is no denying the fact that dye sublimation printing services are still considered to be one of the greatest options especially in the case where you want to add new dimensional qualities as well as catch up a little speed to the whole process.

3. What challenges you could face with these applications and how impactful they can turn out to be on the garments if you go with a casual approach?

It is important to align the direct-to-garment print with specs if you see that the fabric is showing a bit of friction or is set at an off-angle while you placed it in the machine, this way the outcome will turn out to be skewed.

The biggest challenge in every turn is the fabric pre-prep whether it is for dye sublimation or DTG. Since skipping on these steps can make the color wash away quicker than what you have thought, the value of the color can be skewed and the outcome will be evident with poor color consistency.
