Default Plastic printing question

What would be the best method to print on a poly mailer and such. What would I need to do so?


Thank you,
Joe

Default Re: Plastic printing question

Try calling Nazdar and tell them what you're printing on . They can recommend a ink that will not attack the plastic and melt it.Different inks for different substrates.They will probably tell you to use a vinyl ink, a higher mesh count 200 or so and I recommend getting a retarder for it because it dries so fast in the screen.Keep the image flooded so it will not dry in you're mesh.
