Assuming you are talking about printing on the chest area, they are no different to print than shirts.

Yeah. Pretty much the same as a tee but with a hood and a bit thicker in fabric. If your flashing, watch the speed so you don't burn. If you had zippers, then you'd have to build a jig to allow the zippers to fit into to have a nice clean sweep. Be aware of any strings so they don't get in the way.

Thanks for the tips I was thinking because of the thickness it may be a little different than T-shirts. Yes I will also be using a flash unit. So I will keep it high enough so it does not burn the hoodie yet drys the ink.

Most of the time no need to flash before the dryer unless you have an underbase.
