I have a bunch of ski snowboard jackets to print with a 1 colour logo.
The sample they have given me the print is falling off and cracked... Could be picked off.
I'm thinking a wipe with ISO and then a white with nylobond.
The other option I'm thinking is nylobag.
Thoughts? What have you guys had best results using on waterproof/ technical jackets.
They say they are just 100% polyester.

Depending on the design and the quantity needed, I have used heat seal on problem garments.
I hate the idea of using a solvent to essentially remove the waterproofing (if that's what it's doing to improve adhesion) of a waterproofed jacket.
Perhaps, the nylon adhesive/catalyst is all that you need.

Nazdar DA series with catalyst. works on nylon with water repellent finish (test first!)
We are printing on a tent tomorrow, I just ordered the ink and mixed a small amount for a test swatch.
ask me again tomorrow, but based on what everybody is saying it is the way to go.

Cheers,
We are pretty limited to inks we can get here.
The best thing I can get with decent opacity (all sorts of opinions from reps) is nylobag.
I'm gonna test nylobag with a hardener.
If that's no good, I'm gonna wipe first with ISO print nylobag with hardener and then waterproof spray over the top. That's the gruntyest solution i can think of and can get my hands on with the best chance of biting the fabric... Thoughts?

Let us know how the DA works.
Tried some and the cure, baking, waiting time was looooong….
Maybe I missed something.
Thx
