Description
The American Apparel 2007W is a 4.3 oz 100% combed ring-spun cotton fine jersey long sleeve tee with side-seam construction and a 1x1 baby rib collar. American Apparel's fine jersey has historically been one of the tightest-grain cotton knits in the blank apparel market, which gives DTG printers a substrate that holds water-based ink with sharper edge definition and more vibrant color than open-end or carded cotton alternatives. The 2007W extends that print quality to long sleeve format for fall event merchandise, brand launches, and retail-tier decorated programs where the garment quality needs to match the print quality.
DTG printing is a standout on the 100% combed ring-spun cotton solids. The tight grain holds water-based ink with minimal dot gain for sharp detail and vibrant color. White and light grounds print without pretreat. Dark grounds need pretreat for white ink underbase. Screen printing with plastisol holds crisp on the fine jersey face with standard mesh counts. The combed ring-spun surface is discharge-compatible on garment-dyed and reactive-dyed solids for a no-hand soft print. DTF transfers bond to the cotton face at standard press settings. Heat transfer vinyl for names and small runs. Embroidery on chest and sleeve with tear-away backing, keeping stitch density moderate on the 4.3 oz jersey. Heather Gray is 90/10 cotton/polyester, which shifts DTG pretreat behavior slightly but remains a strong DTG substrate.
