Should I use a specific type of vinyl on performance apparel?

tell your vendor the type of material and they can guide you

Here's what worked for other newbies like me:
I used 302 degrees medium pressure for 13 secs(pre press 4 secs)
Augusta moisture wicking thsirt and the vinyl was videoflex(it was free with the new vinyl cutter--roland gx-24. My shirts are perfect. Next, I'll do a wash test. This equipment is so easy to use! I have a small order for a volleyball team and I tested out the equipment with their logo, name, numbers on some shirts and free vinyl. When my other vinyl comes in and their shirt colors I will do the real shirts. I can't wait to try layering...so far I've just tried one color(which is all my order calls for).

I use Spectra Eco Film and used to use EZ-Weed with great results.

Oh, and depending on the material, you might want to use a teflon pillow (or something similar). It helps reduce the press lines.

You shouldn't need to use much pressure with the poly. I always do a second press after I peel.
