Title: Imprinting on AA Knee Socks
Post by: middletownink on February 12, 2013, 08:55:34 AM

We have printed on 100% cotton socks and have sublimated on poly socks.  But never on this fabric combo.  I got an order for 40 pairs of the American Apparel Striped Knee High Socks that is Cotton Blend (80% Cotton / 15% Nylon / 5% Elastane) construction.  Anyone successfully printed on these?

HD clear is a great stretch addiitive try adding 10% to a good quality black ink. Rutland also offers Spandesol Black. Either one would work.

Thanks Tony. So I was over thinking it!! I figured the percentage of nylon would create a problem!

Welcome! Black is probably the most forgiving of all inks!
