For the care of this fabric, it is important to follow a set of recommendations to maintain its properties. Bleaching should be avoided, and it should be washed at a maximum temperature of 40ºC. Dry cleaning is also permitted, except with trichloroethylene, and ironing at a cool temperature is suggested. It is crucial not to use a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage the fabric and affect its elasticity.

The printing technology used in the manufacture of this fabric is sublimation, a specific method for polyester that allows the ink to adhere to the fabric fibers through heat. This technique ensures that the design has vibrant colors and exceptional durability, as the ink becomes part of the fabric, preventing wear from washing or sun exposure. Digital textile printing allows for greater precision in design details, making it perfect for creating complex and personalized patterns that optimize the aesthetics of garments.
