Printing on a "tech shirt"

Post by martini35504 »

I will soon be printing a job on a "tech shirt". Essentially used by runners and the like and that wicks away moisture. Should be a roughly 60% cotton - 40% poly blend shirt. If I leave shirts under my heater for 1 min. 30 sec., how long should I leave these under?

One minute thirty will probably scorch the shirt. You should get special low cure poly ink and be VERY careful.
Best to add stretch additive too.
Wevdo a lot of cycletops and surfing rash vests using this set up and works fine
