Hi Everyone

Sorry if this is a stupid question or if its been asked before

Can i print a high gloss picture onto vinyl before i apply to a t shirt? if so what is the best way?
Would sublimation work on vinyl?

Many Thanks in Advance

Solvent inks are usually used for this.

You would need an eco solvent printer along with a printable vinyl.

Yes you can with a normal inkjet printer , pigment Tinte and with printable vinyl!
You can see the site from Politape!
They have printable vinyl for inkjet and for solvent!
I have use the inkjet printable vinyl ,the results is great and the colors also after one year but the hand isnt soft !In big designs is a problem but in 18cm x 18 cm is acceptable!
Note you will need also a special transfer tape for this vinyl

Stahls will do it for you, print/cut and you press.

I think also and you can request samples to try out

Solvent printer will print on any vinyl (cheap)
Water based inkjet (with pigment inks) will need a coated vinyl.

A ROLAND bn 20 WILL BE A GOOD LOW COST PRINT AND CUT PRINTER
