I just found an old jar of Sericol Flexitex (Athletic) White. I have no idea how old this ink is but seems ok. Should I just use the ink or test it first (wash the print, maybe?)?
The thing is, I might be getting an order for girlie shirts (96% Cotton - 4% Lycra) and something tells me I should use Flexi White. I don't have a whole lot of experience with shirts that have Lycra in them so I'm hesitant to use my normal (Union Ink) Plastisol White.
Naturally, the shirts stretch some and my first thought was to just use my regular white with a low mesh count and apply a lot more pressure but now I'm thinking that won't do the trick. Or will it? Could I really pull it off this way?

i'd probably get the specs on the ink from the manufacturer, it will help you a lot to know it's capabilities.

always best to order extra material i have no idea, but i'd probably try a higher mesh with regular ink before ordering a stretch additive... good luck...
