I know there is another thread about printing on water repellent materials. I had a customer drop off some jackets and I didn't look at them since I had not received the artwork from them yet. When I did look, they are frog tog bull frog jackets. Does anyone have an idea of what can be used if anything on them?

Those suckers are polypropylene. That's really different than the waterproofed Polyester and nylon we usually see. Looks like a look at the Nazdar substrate chart is in order. Maybe their DA series

A couple more suggestions. Look up old threads that discuss printing bags out of this material (except that they may not be subject to the same wear or laundering abuse)
I might also suggest merely adding low cure additive (if these can take 275 degrees), but can't speak to the adhesion.
Then again, many have relied on a nylon adhesion additive to both help this and lower the cure temp as they will eventually cure at any heat.

Okay, I have to put much of what I told you on hold, as I now find out that Frogg Togg uses different materials on their different models.
Lotsa polypropylene as I mentioned, but also some more conventional Polyester with some sort of laminate (Dri-Pore perhaps a generic Gore Tex)

It says it's 100% polypropylene, was hoping my gsg rep would stop by today so I could ask him. But I still don't have the artwork, so not in a major rush to figure it out.
