i am hoping for a few pointers on printing mesh shorts that have an inside liner. when i put them on the pallet the liner sticks down but the outside of the short (where i'm printing) moves freely. what is the trick to printing on this stuff? it is 100% polyester mesh short. badger 7207.

thanks for any input....

Okay - well, if it is a one color print you can get away with printing one pass of ink, but that's it - you can't PFP. If you are printing white make sure it is for polyester (low-bleed ink). If it is multi colored then a jacket hold down might work or double sided sticky tape (that would be a pain) or order them as heat transfers and press them on.

Hope one of these ideas will work for you.

Hello
I had the same problem last year. The fastest way is to get a clamp. I got mine from screeners choice. It's called the sports clamp. It works great and is easy to set up.

Good luck
Rob

Print a transfer and use a hat press.

clamps work good but you can do them as digi prints from imprintables warehouse for real cheap as well

If you already have a press, you might as well print your own transfers. Transfers are great for tough to print items, especially those with a liner.

Burn a new screen that is 6 up (or whatever fits), adjust your off contact for the paper and print your own. It will probably take a little experimentation on scrap shirts before you get it right but its an investment in your future efficiency.
