PNG has no direct material compatibility. Study the material used by the selected production method because its composition, color, coating, texture, preparation, and process limits determine the physical result.
| Material group | PNG-related use | Key knowledge |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester textiles | Sublimation and some transfer workflows | Fiber content, garment color, heat tolerance, and printable area |
| Cotton and blended garments | DTG and DTF workflows as applicable | Pretreatment, fabric color, texture, underbase, cure, and care |
| Polymer-coated blanks | Sublimation on mugs, tumblers, panels, ornaments, and other compatible goods | Coating quality, geometry, fixture, and transfer requirements |
| Print films and transfer media | DTF, printable vinyl, stickers, labels, and print-and-cut | Ink compatibility, adhesive, liner, cure, lamination, and contour cutting |
| Wood, acrylic, leather, coated metal, glass, and stone | Raster laser engraving where safe and supported | Composition, finish, ventilation, contrast, focus, and test settings |
| Packaging and protective materials | Preserve the finished PNG-produced surface | Abrasion, moisture, transfer, heat, and product protection |
