I have screenprinting for a lot of years. But I still have problems with jerseys. The ink comes off. I have heard different things over the years. Use nylon ink with a catalyst, use regular plastisol, etc. I have tried it both ways but sometimes the ink still comes off. We use a heat gun, and have a fairly new gas dryer. What works for all you who regularly do jerseys?

add 10% Nylabond and print normally. Run through the dryer.

What purpose are you using the heat gun?

Sorry, not a heat gun. Just a gun with a laser to check temp when it comes out of dryer.

What's the best way to print on jerseys with large mesh holes? I just want the ink to be on the material and to leave the holes open.

I printed 150 jerseys last summer for my football team. I made what looks like a old pizza pan out of plywood. I glued it down and than put wax paper over it put the jersey on printed picked the hole thing up and put it on the belt. I know it's a lot of extra work but the ink was getting all over when i tried to pick the jersey off. hope that helps.
