Yup, it can be printed on. What print method do you usually use?

You can also use something like Elasticut from Imprintables Warehouse - you cut it on a plotter and then heat press it onto the garments. Works very well on things like swimsuits....

You could also get plastisol screen prints from places like Ace Transfer that have a flex additive, you then heat press them onto the garments.

Lots of options...

We print lycra tanks for a restaurant and just print it the same as a normal t-shirt with plastisol inks.
