Default Plastic

I currently use Dye Sub to print like mouse pads, coffee mugs, dog tags etc. Is there another process used to print these types of items? I know ink jet and special paper can be used to print t-shirts, but can the same materials be used to print the item listed above?

Good question. Can you print plastic cycling bottles with waterslide paper? I'm looking for another process to print plastic cycling bottles besides using plastisol inks.

Waterslide is used to do transfers on many items I am sure you can do it on plastic also..There is no heat involved..

Would the waterslide decal on the bottle be dishwasher safe?
