Default Sublimate on 92% Nylon & 8% Elastane
Good day
I got a small order to print on garments with 92%nylon & 8% Elastane. Its only wording and the client wants red wording on black garment.
Will sublimation work on this ?

What is other alternatives besides sublimate?


Many Thanks
Fiekyville

Dye sub won't work on it since the fabric is not polyester... heat press vinyl made for nylon or screen print would be your best options.

I think i'll use the OS ELASTIC PU (Polyurethane) vinyl that can stretch alot. Screen printing wont be feasible for such small orders.

thank you for your reply. Much appreciated.

You can not sublimate to dark fabrics. There is no white ink in sublimation.

Red wouldn't work on black either. Can't dye-sub black fabric full stop.

thanks for your replies.
i pressed vinyl on it.. so i'll see how that holds up.
I've explained everything to the client. but he wanted to test with the vinyl.

Thanks again
