Hi there,
Is it possible to print on fleece? Special ink? I don't know specific details, but somebody is asking...
Thanks.

You had better clarify just what you mean by "fleece"
In general, almost all sweatshirts are classified as "fleece".
Then you have the polyester Polar Fleece and similar fabrics, and of course, the stuff that looks like it was stripped right off of a sheep.

Sorry, Polar Fleece...

We print the Woolly bugger sheep fabrics (WB)

Can I assume that you'd advise siestasol to go waterbase on his polar fleece? Any specifics on technique?
Oh, and with the mention of Wooly Buggers, I bet a bunch of fiishermen members' minds went to these

I got some details...
Royal blue scarf on Polar fleece with a 4 colors logo at the end...
Tony, I know sometimes you are like an hermetic crab..., but, some tips will be appreciated.
Thanks.

In general your going to want to run 110-160 mesh screens depending on your equipment(manual or auto), penetrant will help your penetration/coverage greatly printing with waterbase and as with towels lower newton screen tension will help your penetration. 65 durometer squeegies also would be my choice. without seeing the design that's all I can offer.

Seems like it does boil down to very similar to towels

Yes. Ricks suggestions are spot on
