Anyone trying printing on Cotton Bambo shirt?

How was the white ink laid down / any pretreatment problem

Thx

The white ink wont last as long as on 100% cotton tees.. the texture of the garment will change a little bit due a very long curing time..

bamboo shirts print great, and they are done in the same way you do your other shirts. my print lasted well over 30 washes before it started to suffer. the brand was ALO, and we never sold any due to the higher cost of the shirt. but they are super soft and comfortable to wear.

Is bamboo actually a natural fiber? I was under the impression that bamboo was just rayon type fibers sourced from the bamboo plant.

I could be wrong here, would love to know.

From a wiki:

In early 2010, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission warned several retailers that six major manufacturers were falsely labeling rayon products as "bamboo", in order to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. While rayon may be produced with bamboo as a raw material, and the two may be used for similar fabrics (though natural bamboo is not as smooth), rayon is so far removed from bamboo by chemical processing that the two are entirely separate.[12]

I have printed on bamboo a few times. Came out great. White ink.
I had no issues, just cost more for the shirt.... So I don't do many on that reason
