This is possible.

Tony from you that is only interesting if you did the whole thing with WB and DC! ;D
-
Ha! Believe it or not we used to. Cut piece on belt printers and oversize platens. WB/DC on cotton, plastisol on spandex poly blends. Maybe 15 -20 ys ago.
-
yup, sublimation. 'can tell by the creases.

Of course. Hate the poly garment though. Got me to remember how we use to print pre constructed garments. Talk about a project! Precise screen imaging using nested tracings supplied by cut and sew factory such that, in some cases, you could print sleeves, backs, fronts, yokes, etc all in one pass on ginormous screens. Not for the faint of heart and the production line took 10 people. Juniors and Missys mainly for fashion couture so we could charge accordingly. No wonder that business dried up.

I cut my teeth in this business at a place that did a lot of piece-good contract work. Its irritating dealing with the bundle-tags and the having every other piece flipped over the wrong way, amongst other things..
We once did a poly panel for a jacket front that bled so bad, we had Wilflex formulate an entirely new product just for it..it was later sold under the product name Tourniquet White. I wonder if they still offer it...

I remember Tournequit white now that you mention it. If they don't offer it they will still have the formula. They save everything and I mean everything. Rows and rows upon rows of flat files with wet samples. The Kennessaw factory is impresive to say the least.
And yes maintaining bundle integrity was a pain. Got me in trouble more than once.
