Title: Anyone printed on Bella 8800's?
Post by: Gilligan on July 03, 2012, 10:57:52 AM

3.7 oz 65% viscose/35% polyester

I'm not even sure what that means.  Is it like a burn out?

So how does printing on rayon work?

This will be purple on "soft pink", I assume just roll with it.  Any curing tricks or gotchas I should worry about?

you're fine, dark on light is easy on about any fabric.  just be sure to check your temps, some of these get a lot hotter than cotton a lot faster

it is just normal printing just watch the heat and flashing if needed.  It is similar in the heat area as polyester is but very little  bleed unlike polyester.
