I have a request to print on a Dry shirt...

"Oxymesh. Relaxed, flattering fit for maximum comfort and mobility. Inherent moisture wicking to keep you dry & comfortable. Antimicrobial treatment with Body Freshé to keep you clean and fresh. Breathable, lightweight, soft, and easy care. Low pill, low shrinkage, and wrinkle resistance."....

anyone print on something like this....what was your experience.

Thanks

If you are talking about 100% poly, "under armor" style wicking shirts, and are printing plastisol ink,

you should be all set, just watch your heat to not scorch or melt the fabric.

if using colored or dark shirts be sure to use a poly white for underbase, if printing white or light grey you should be all set using non poly ink.

i just did some monday,
be sure you have someone catch them coming out of the dryer. the first time i printed some, when they dropped into the box, the ink was still very hot and a couple shirts stuck to themselves. it only happened with the lo-bleed white since it's so thick.
it could happen on any shirt, it's just these seem to come out hotter, and it's worse that they're more expensive, too.

As long as your cotton shirts aren't burning, your poly will be fine.

watching your heat will also lessen the chance of dye migration when printing colored poly garments.
