Default Printing with a HM1 on hemp garments?

Hi, my name is Charles, I'm from Quebec, Canada and I've been reading this forum for a little while to get to know the industry. The niche-market I'll be attacking will be hemp garments, and some organic cotton. My business plan is not quite exhaustive yet, but it's getting better and better!
I was wondering if anyone tried to print on hemp garments with a HM1? Thanks a lot!

EDIT: ...and yeah, be nice, this is my first post

Shouldn't be a problem with any of the digital printers since they prefer to print on natural materials over man made. Find a dealer up near you and get some garments together and run them over there.

Sweet, thanks Brad.
I havn't bought the printer yet, since I want the business plan, financing and market study to be done before making any major investment.

Maybe see if a distributor near you will print a sample on one if you send it to them. They may be willing to do this. Tell them this is what you want to print on if you buy the machine and you want to see if it will work, I am sure they would do that for you.
