Test Tubes Light Color 100% Cotton - Approx 100 Per Box
Light-colored 100% cotton test fabric tubes designed for screen printing press setup, ink testing, registration, curing tests, and production sampling without using finished garments.
Characteristics
Test Tubes Light Color 100% Cotton are practical screen printing test materials designed to help printers set up and evaluate print jobs before moving to finished production garments. They provide a convenient cotton surface for running test impressions, checking registration, evaluating ink coverage, and making press adjustments while helping reduce garment waste.
Made from 100% cotton fabric, these test tubes provide a realistic textile surface for evaluating how screen printing inks perform on cotton materials. The light-colored fabric is especially useful for testing designs intended for white and light-colored garments, allowing operators to evaluate ink color, coverage, image detail, and overall print appearance.
The tubular construction makes the material easy to load onto a screen printing platen and provides multiple printable areas that can be used for testing. Test tubes are useful during initial press setup as well as when making adjustments to registration, squeegee pressure, off-contact, ink deposit, and other printing variables.
Because the material is 100% cotton, test tubes can also be useful for evaluating ink behavior and performing preliminary cure testing under production conditions. This makes them a valuable shop supply when dialing in plastisol, water-based, and other textile printing applications compatible with cotton fabrics.
Each box contains approximately 100 light-colored cotton test tubes, providing an economical solution for routine press setups, test prints, quality-control checks, and production sampling.

- Load the test tube onto the press platen similarly to a production garment before making a test impression.
- Run test prints before production to verify registration, print placement, ink coverage, and overall image quality.
- Use light-colored test tubes when setting up designs intended for white or light-colored cotton garments.
- Use test prints while adjusting registration, squeegee pressure, off-contact, ink deposit, and other press settings.
- When evaluating curing parameters, confirm final settings using the actual production garment because fabric construction, weight, dyes, and other characteristics can affect curing performance.
- Keep approved test prints as visual references for repeat jobs and production quality-control checks.
