Hello I'm looking to expand my business by adding DTG Printers and was wondering what materials these machines are capable of printing on, one material im most interested in is Premium Quality 100% Micro Fiber Polyester Material with Antibacterial and Moisture Wicking Enhancements. If anyone has printed on this material or knows any information, would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

With the proper poly pretreatment you can certainly print on 100% or blended poly with DTG inks. Keep in mind it is only lights now as there is no pretreatment for darks beyond 100% cotton or very close to it. When it comes down to 100% polyester printing on white (or very, very light garments) I would still go the Sublimation route over DTG, the colors are quite amazing and cannot wash out period. Saying that, when you have a light colored (slightly darker) poly item I've found that DTG can look a little more saturated, and cover/show a little better as it is slightly less transparent than the sublimation inks. IMHO
