Take this Job or Not - Printing 2 color logo on Adidas 50/50 Warmup Jacket
Hello and Good Morning,
A couple of questions I was recently asked if I could print a 2 colored logo on the back of an Adidas Warmup Jacket either 50/50 or Polyester. I have seached the forums and have not really found a decisive answer so thought I was post here.
If i do decide to accept this job what types of Ink should i use and what is the curing process for this type of material?
Any help that can be provided is greatly appreciated.

Could you use vinyl and a heat press? If the design suits and you have the setup it could be much easier for you.

I do not have experience with either, vinyl or heat press. Do you think taking the job and outsourcing is a viable solution. Is Vinyl and Heatpress very expensive if i went that route?Could you use vinyl and a heat press? If the design suits and you have the setup it could be much easier for you.

How large is the order?I do not have experience with either, vinyl or heat press. Do you think taking the job and outsourcing is a viable solution. Is Vinyl and Heatpress very expensive if i went that route?
Vinyl, heapress, and cutter will set you back a minimum of $1,000 for entry level equipment. A viable, long term solution will set you back $2,500.
If it's a smaller order, it may be best to sub it out.I do not have experience with either, vinyl or heat press. Do you think taking the job and outsourcing is a viable solution. Is Vinyl and Heatpress very expensive if i went that route?
its for about 50 pieces (Jackets)
if you have never done it, and have a contract shop you use, sub it out. Go buy a case of seconds of similar fabric, and learn to do it. Take the next one that comes by yourself.
Quality low bleed inks, different temps, tight screens will make it a workable learning process.
Good luck with the experimenting!
