What causes a printed garment to fade?
Light, more than washing or wear. Ultraviolet exposure breaks pigment down far faster than friction does, which is why a shirt stored near a window fades unevenly along the side that faced the glass. Keeping printed clothes out of direct sun is the single most effective step.
How can I tell a good digital print from a poor one?
Look at the edges of the motifs. A well-executed digital print holds a crisp boundary between colours with no halo or bleed, and fine lines stay unbroken. A poor one shows fuzzy edges, banding across gradients, and colours that look muddied where they meet.
Does the print sit on the surface or soak into the fabric?
Digital printing deposits ink at the fibre surface and fixes it there. That is why the cloth keeps its original hand rather than stiffening, and also why abrasion and strong detergent affect a print more than they affect a piece dyed right through the fibre.
Is this shirt suitable for wearing several times a week?
It is listed for daily wear, so it is intended for regular use. The practical consideration is the care instruction, which is dry clean only. Frequent wear on a dry clean garment means either more visits to the cleaner or more careful airing between wears.
