Title: Printing On Satin
Post by: printguy on November 20, 2017, 07:14:15 AM

Have a custy that wants satin "super hero" capes printed. Will be using plastisol and will most likely require flashing. Can anyone weigh-in on this? Thanks in advance!

Satin is pretty much the knit or weave that produces the smooth shiny look. It can be silk, poly, nylon or rayon, so temps and ink types will depend on that.
If I had my druthers, and wanted the most supple product, I'd sublimate one of the synthetics (or, in my case, have someone else sublimate them)
