What would it be like to print on a faded garment?

There’re a few things to keep in mind when you design a faded garment. 

1. The fabric color may look slightly different in reality than on a computer screen. The color inconsistency of faded fabric is often too subtle to be displayed on the screen.

2. Faded garments tend to be less colorfast.

3. The onscreen colors of a design may not precisely match the printed outcome. Some garments are pre-washed for a lived-in look. After pre-washing, a tiny amount of lint will remain on the fabric’s surface and later on mix with the ink during the printing process. This would very likely cause a color shift.
