How durable is textile printing really? The big caveat behind durability claims
Understand how durability claims are made and what truly affects wash stability and long-term print quality.
Durability depends on multiple factors
Method, garment quality, washing behavior, and curing quality all influence how long a print remains visually stable.
Marketing claims are often not comparable
Without a consistent test standard, terms like durable or long-lasting can mean very different things.
Ask providers for concrete test context
Request details on wash cycles, temperatures, and sample conditions to evaluate durability statements realistically.
