Sport-Tek ST350 performance tee, screen printed
When cotton is too hot or too slow to dry, the ST350 is the answer. It is 100% polyester, wicks sweat, and the PosiCharge finish keeps the shirt color from bleeding into the print. Fun runs, trail races, river guides and summer camp staff wear it from May to September. Battle Born Clothing prints and embroiders it in Yerington, Nevada.

Printing on polyester
Polyester can dye-migrate: the shirt color bleeds into a white or light ink when it cures. PosiCharge reduces that, and we cure at the right temperature on our conveyor dryer and use a low-bleed plastisol on darks. Discharge and water-based inks are for cotton only; on the ST350 we use plastisol or a DTF transfer.
Decoration options
Screen print (1 to 2 colors, front and back) is the usual pick for event, staff and merch tees. Left-chest embroidery is the usual pick for polos, hoodies and quarter-zips. Battle Born Clothing does both in its own shop in Yerington, NV. DTF transfers for small runs or full-color art are produced by a Carson City partner and pressed in our shop, quoted per job. See decoration for how each method holds up.
