Default Can you print on elastic waists?

im looking to print on the elastic top of some sets of pants, was wondering what the best way of going about it is?

i made up a screen the other night and had a go and it didnt work very well,it kind of bled out and too much ink on it.

because obviously there is wholes throughout the elastic, is it best to use a high mesh screen so less ink is put on so less chance of it bleeding through the holes and looking a mess?

these are the pants im looking to print on
Online Catalog - Wholesale Resources - American Apparel

also when i tried i had to stretch them a bit to get them on the platten, but i was thinking it would be better to print when the elastic isnt stretch so the holes in the elastic arnt as open?

anyone printed on elastic before?
got any advice?
