Printing on a Mesh Fabric?

Hey all,

I just recently got asked a question that I surprisingly couldn't answer.

I was asked to print onto a "Lacrosse Pinnie".

It is a really light-weight mesh, with large holes.

Now here is my question... Would you print just regular plastisol ink? or the athletic ink? The mesh doesn't stretch much but i can see the holes being a pain.


Thanks

There are numerous ways to do this. Two come to mind.

If it is one color put indoor outdoor carpeting on the platen. This causes the ink to print nicely and the carpet pulls the ink from the holes for a nice finished and breathable print. OK?
