I am sure this is on t-shirt forums but I cannot find it.
I have %100 polyester shirts like the zorrel,coolmax..the textured moisture wicking kind. I am wondering what is the best approach to screening on them ???
We have been doing alot of wicking shirts lately. They seem to take the print nicely with only 2 passes. The ink stays on the surface so the ink appears more opaque than when you do the same print on the same colour cotton shirt.
The problem comes when you have to flash. The garment shrinks and this releases the glue on the pallet and you can have trouble.
This is where I am trying to find a solution as we need to flash regularly as we do 3-5 colour prints on mesh.
Any problem using plastisol on this type of fabric?

Not at all. We only use plastisol ink. I have just this minute finished a 5 colour, wet on wet print on this cloth. Scarey but looks great. Again, the only worry is the glue just doesn't hold even though you use 4-5 times the amount you would use on cotton.

Hey Cody...
I meant plastisol heat transfers...not direct screenprinting.
Sorry for not being clear.
