Hi all
I have been looking into sublimation printing and i am having trouble finding a good supplier for polyester t-shirts.
I came across a video on you tube that used a polymer coating on a cotton t-shirt...... has anyone used this process ? where would i find such a coating ?
Or finally is there other solutions that i dont know about.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Dave

It is a waste of money, don't bother. It comes off in the washer. Conde sells sub shirts. You can only sublimate on white or very light pastels. For darks you'll need paper made for dark fabrics and it's usually a 2 step process. Three step if you consider the contour cutting to remove the unwanted background white.

Loretta is right - you will get inferior resutls with sublimation on polymer coated cotton. There are quite a few threads in dye-sublimation section of the forums on this subject if you do a search.
