Compatible print methods
How we print on polyester compression.
Dye-sublimationDTF (direct-to-film)
Polyester compression is dye-sublimation-friendly, meaning we can print photo-quality all-over graphics edge-to-edge. The print becomes part of the fiber — it won't crack, peel, or fade. For other substrates in your project, we offer DTF and screen-print as fallback options.

FAQ
Common questions about polyester compression.
Is compression fabric the same as spandex?
Not exactly. Compression refers to the tight fit and supportive feel. The fabric itself can be 100% polyester (which we offer for sublimation) or poly-spandex (for higher stretch). For full-coverage custom prints, our 100% poly interlock is the standard choice.
