Hey, I'm new to screen printing...
Just wondering if anyone can help me out.
Is there any special method used when printing on mesh shorts or a basketball jersey?
I would assume the ink might not stick well.
If you have any tips let me know!
Thanks!

Re: printing on mesh shorts and jerseys
There are indeed special inks that need to be used. If they are polyester, you need a low-bleed ink (or a good low-bleed underbase). If it's nylon, you will need an additive. I know Rutland Ink and Union Ink both have products that will accomplish what you need. Other companies do as well, I'm sure.
Another method would be to use a heat-transferred material such as Thermoflex.
Hope this helps!
