Begin with the design and the base fabric
Before choosing a printing technology, define the fabric construction, fibre composition, colour, surface and intended use. A print that looks suitable on one base may behave differently on another knit.
Also consider the pattern scale, number of colours, repeat, placement and the appearance required on the finished garment.
Compare process options against the brief
Rotary printing can be considered for repeat designs and planned production volumes. Digital printing may be worth discussing for different design or quantity requirements. The appropriate option depends on the project and the capabilities confirmed for the selected fabric.
Do not decide by the technology name alone. Discuss colour expectations, pattern repeat, fabric handling and any limits that affect the design.
Assess the printed sample
Approve a sample on the intended base fabric and review it after the planned finishing and care steps. Check colour, sharpness, repeat alignment, hand, stretch and the fabric's dimensions.
If the fabric will be cut and sewn, make a test garment where useful. This helps evaluate the print in its actual position and confirms how seams and stretch affect the design.
Plan the production route
Share artwork, repeat dimensions, colour references, base-fabric details, expected quantity and delivery timing. Confirm which printing process is available for the project and agree the sample and acceptance criteria before production.
Printing is offered within the company's finishing services, but feasibility and parameters must be confirmed for each fabric and design.
In summary
A good print result starts with matching the technology to the fabric and design. A representative sample, realistic wash check and agreed production specification are essential before approving a larger run.
