Hi there
Can someone help me please
I am manufacturing garments made of 100% light cotton fabric (thread count 22 X 18 per square cm)
Before sending those garments to market I need to fix the logo on the fabric.
Logos are very small in size (in the range of 1cmX 4cm up to 2cm X 5cm) and one color only
The only problem I have is that logos should be heavy duty washable and withstand ironing.
I went through the site some members were recommending plastisol then others said that it will not withstand ironing.
Then i had an idea to check silk screen printing, found out that its good for me because my logs are one color only.
My question is: can silk screen help in this?
Is silk screen washable and can be ironed? (My fabric is 100% cotton but light in every cm there is 22 threads in weft and 18 threads in warp)
If yes
What do I need to start ? how to make the silk screen mesh (if this is the right name)
What inks are the best ? (washable and can be ironed)
What machines do I need? ( I have only a heat press machine)
I have to fix the logo for 250 garments /day ? any machines needed to make things fast and accurate?
Is there a company which can give me a full solution?

Best regards to allllll

You will need to use water base ink if your going to screen print something that will be ironed. I like Matsui water base ink but they recommend using a conveyor dryer to cure it. That fabric sounds like it is pretty coarse compared to a t-shirt. You may have a little trouble if what you want to print is small and detailed.
