Title: printing on woven shirts, 55% cotton/45% polyester ?
Post by: shellyky on July 26, 2011, 01:36:42 PM

what do i need to do to print white on a red 7.2oz. 55% cotton/45% polyester shirt--its a 'woven' shirt, a Hilton Cyclone (like a race-pit crew buttondown, colorblocked)

Ive printed on Dickies workshirts before which have less polyester in them but the white still tends to bleed and shirt color pops thru on PFP.  What ink woudl be my best option and any other tips for printing this style of shirt/fabric content?

I just did a good size run on 100% Red Poly.  I P/f/p with rutland super poly with great results.  It's more manageable than the Wilflex equivalent.
