Title: printing on shirts prior to tie dying
Post by: blue moon on May 17, 2021, 01:22:40 PM

we have to print tomorrow on PFD shirts that will be dyed latter. Can we just use plastisol? The imprint will be white, so I am thinking white ink.

Anything else we should know?

thanx,

pierre

Yep, plastisol is fine. I used to do this regularly for a local Boy Scout troop. Sometimes before and sometimes after dyeing. Only thing I learned was adding a black outline helped most of their designs work better no matter how each shirt was individually dyed. This really depends on what type of dying pattern is used.

Yes.  No issues.  The teachers and kids love it.  This was a (business) that did these for an event on white tees.
