I had a cat bring in a 100% poly rain jacket type vest wanting a DTF print on it anyone press 100% poly without any trouble, I don't have anything in the shop like that material to test on.
-
I've done lots of poly shirts with no problems, the only thing that I can think of that might be an issue is if there is any type of water repellent coating on it.
-
I just did some thin poly jackets from pennant.
275 for 10 sec.
-
When I get different items like that, I try a test print with a small piece of a transfer in an inconspicuous spot
-
Just did some here. I prefer the low-melt from Supa for this. I get less press marks. I have switched a lot of stuff over, especially when it's 4 colors, left chest. It's easier to do and frees up the press for faster jobs.

Are they just using a different powder adhesive for those? We lower are settings for poly when it is necessary, and always lower the time to apply better. I find they hold up great but on some garments you just can't avoid the press marks (we stay away from textured poly for example).

Thanks all, I passed on the job, it was only one piece plus it was a puffy type vest, but the advice on lower heat time and faster melting powder is good info I will use in the future.

I guess they are, the instructions are different. On their blocker series, they use a black blocker under the DTF print. It's been great for troublesome garments.
