And where are you going to store that stuff?

I think they are responding to the marketplace where some folks want the colors that might traditionally be only found in the garment-dyed lines, but on shirts that print like more traditional garments.We live in a world full of stuff - stuff that needs to be kept with us. The colors are in their ringspun cotton Beefy T, open-end Tagless T, and also in my new favorite the X-Temp which is a soft 60/40 shirt. Hanes showed their new release of what they are calling “coastal colors.” On their soft styles of shirts they have some new more muted colors, probably good stuff to use in the resort market. Nice soft discharge print that Tom did on SanMar’s new garment dyed shirt the PC099 I would test the colors as mentioned above, but the shirt Tom printed for the show discharged nicely. They seem to sacrifice some of the softness of traditional garment dyed shirts but they still are soft and offer “vintage colors” and are true to size (garment dyed shirts don’t generally shrink at all once in consumer’s hands.) A few of the colors are dischargeable and a couple even allow for dry cleaning of ink spots unlike most traditional pigment dyed shirts. They have a couple of pigment dyed shirts and then some that are reactive dyed. SanMar recently started offering their version of a garment dyed shirt. Richard Wainwright and Lisa Waithe-Webster spent lots of time comforting Comfort Color customers I came away from my discussions with them with a respect for the extraordinary effort they are making to catch up and to work with their customers as best as they can. You have to respect that they didn’t duck their customers but rather were front and center and present and answering questions at the PPAI Expo, the ISS Long Beach show and then even at the Alphabroder Expo. Eventually the increased production plan will stabilize the inventory, but when you run behind for a few months and then have a bunch of your customers trying to buy their shirts early, it is a pretty tough situation. It appears that there is almost a panic among some buyers of their products and that is contributing to even more shortages. In Long Beach we also talked to Comfort Colors who have been experiencing shortages despite an increase in production. The company was sold to Gildan recently, and they took over right in the middle of a rapid growth in sales. The traditional supplier of garment dyed shirts in our industry is Comfort Colors. Take extra measures to clean hands, aprons, shirts of your workers and keep your press area clean.

Consider using Rutland Endurance series inks which are softer and more printable than usual dye blocking inks
We went over the test we have posted on the Ink Kitchen that is used for polyester which can also be used to test garment dyed shirts. test your garment for whether it will discharge, which will make for the softest print if it will.At my shop we mostly use Albatross Brush Tac and then some Albatross spray when necessary. use good platen adhesive to promote good registration, and re-apply more often than usual.At ISS Long Beach in January Tom and I did some seminars in the SanMar classroom on printing on Garment Dyed shirts.
