Test Tubes Navy 100% Cotton- Approx 100 Per Box
Navy 100% cotton test tubes designed for screen printing setup, registration, ink testing, and production sampling, providing a realistic cotton surface for evaluating print quality before printing finished garments.
Characteristics
Test Tubes Navy 100% Cotton are screen printing test materials designed to help printers set up and evaluate jobs before moving into production. Made from 100% cotton fabric, they provide a garment-like printing surface for checking registration, ink coverage, opacity, color appearance, and overall print quality.
The navy fabric is particularly useful for testing designs intended for dark-colored cotton garments. Printers can evaluate white and colored ink opacity, underbase performance, ink deposit, and color appearance against a dark substrate before committing to finished apparel.
Unlike flat test sheets, the tubular construction provides a textile testing surface that more closely represents common garment construction. This makes the test tubes useful for press setup, print testing, production sampling, and troubleshooting applications where testing on cotton material is preferred.
Test tubes can help reduce wasted production garments by allowing press operators to make adjustments to registration, squeegee pressure, off-contact, ink deposit, and other printing variables before beginning the production run.
Each box contains approximately 100 navy test tubes, providing an economical supply for screen printing shops performing frequent setups and production tests. Printed samples can also be retained for color references, repeat jobs, production records, or quality-control purposes.
