Default Printing on Rash Guards

Any suggestions for printing on rash guards? I have a customer that wants a two color print on black rash guards.

I'm thinking that two colors is going to just be way too much ink for a stretchy material like that.

I was planning on using a stretch additive, but does anyone else have any tips.

Thanks in advance.

Not only should you use an athletic ink that will stretch, but you also need to add a nylo-bond additive to adhere the ink. I had a customer ask me to print some rashguards for her when everyone else in the city chickened out on her. She nearly jumped the counter to kiss me when I said I could do them. They turned out great.

Thanks for the input. I think I have decided to go with a Thermoflex heat transfer.
