Question spandisol or plastisol?

I am having women's running shirts printed for an upcoming race. Material is 100% microfiber polyester. Originally the printer told me he would use plastisol. Today he said it should be spandisol ink. Could someone explain which would be best? I would like the shirts to look good and remain so.

Appreciate any guidance. Thanks.

Default Re: spandisol or plastisol?

both.spandisol is an additive that is mixed into the ink which allows it stretch with the fabric. it should also have an additive for polyester if your shirts have poly in them. you can get the additives seperate or get them premixed into your ink. hope this helps.

Just to be sure I understand, is spandisol ink used for the plastisol process?
