Default Printing on pennants

I am getting ready to print on pennants, 8" X 18" for the first time for my son's school. White print on red pennants. Would really appreciate any suggestions, or how to information. Didn't really want to do it, cause I have never done it before, but got pulled in! Any help I was going to do them on my manual press, as opposed to automatic. Please any help would be great. Thanks ,Kim

Looks and feels like a thin red felt. Bought them from Pepco Poms, doesn't say what they are made of for sure.

I would use a low bleed plastisol ink for these just in case you have dye migration. I almost had to do some felt pouches but I didn't get the job. Hope this helps.

Aappreciate the suggestion, and I do have LB white. I am having trouble with the material shrinking under the flash dryer and then of course the second coat is nothing but a smear, but one pass of white does not cover the red. Just pulling my hair out now! Thanks again. Kim

Try flashing before you print them. I have to do that with fleece occasionally.
