blank t shirts for screen printing
Screen printing puts a thicker deposit on the fabric than any other method, so the blank has to be heavy enough not to buckle under it and smooth enough that the print edge stays sharp.

A plastisol deposit adds weight and stiffness to one area of the shirt. On a light jersey, the fabric around the print corrugates after the first wash — the shirt looks wet and never recovers.
200gsm is the practical floor for a large solid print; 230gsm and above is comfortable. Small left-chest prints are more forgiving on lighter cloth.
Ring-spun yarn gives a smoother surface, so the print edge is cleaner and fine type holds. Open-end yarn is coarser; a fine-line design will lose definition on it.
For large solid areas the difference is negligible; for type under about 10pt it is visible at arm’s length.
A working stock of white and black in S–2XL covers most walk-in orders; a small quantity of 3XL covers the rest and prevents the order you cannot fill.
Keeping depth in one weight beats stocking three weights shallowly, because a job either needs your default blank or it needs a sample.
