Title: A Lil Help PLease
Post by: killergraphics on February 24, 2012, 08:25:50 AM
New shirt for me.

I'm thinking about running with paper on top of the tape.
100% poly
Any help would super.

wouldnt it being reflective not be a problem?  I may be wrong but when using reflective ink its hard to cure because of the reflectiveness?

do you have an extra one to run through?

So run it like a shirt?

I'm seeing a future separation problem with the tape.

Hey Johnny as of yet we never had a complaint about the integrity of these shirts after running. I run them like anything polyester not like cotton shirts. If you ran it through at tshirt temp it would probably shrivel, I adjust my height up and speed up the belt a little.

As Pierre said, I run them normal with no problem either.  They stink like hell though.

Holy crap batman you printed on the taping? WOW that I would not have expected. We never ever ever offer something like that!

Yeah, that's knda like giving the information out very slowly, as if it's on a "need to know" basis on NCIS, but Johnny, we really did need to know.

I have no idea if your plastisol will stay adhered to the tape. Wash test, and if there is a problem, I'd consider Nylo-bond or even look at doing it with printed vinyl.(even then there could be an adhesion problem similar to stacking certain color films)

4 colors over that. You da man! 8)

 I've never done that but the Nylo-bond is a logical step to R&D.

I think it would have been a little less blurry if you printed the black first then the white over the top with a slight trap, to me white holds a better edge in situations like that.
