Cotton logo mockups
Cotton is the fabric of most merch. Flat inks sink into its weave and cure matte; thread sits on top and catches the light. PreviewFly keeps the weave visible through every print and lets thread and patches stand off it.

About water-based discharge →How cotton behaves
The weave stays Prints follow the fabric's texture instead of covering it like a sticker.
Caps Caps hide water-based discharge from the picker; tees and totes keep it.

Cotton, asked often
Cotton or polyester?
Library apparel opens on cotton. If your garment is polyester, switch the material in the editor: sublimation becomes available and discharge goes away.
