vinyl on tricot polyester

1721 Views 5 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  JoshEllsworth
I am wondering what kind of luck anyone has had, good or bad, putting vinyl on tricot polyester. I am going to being putting names on the backs of jackets. I take it I can't use the Eco-film, what do I use? I searched earlier posts but couldn't find a real definite answer. Would appreciate help from anyone who has worked with this material. THanks !

Eco-Film should work fine if its a poly. Use a firm pressure and make sure you preheat a few times as this fabric can contain a lot of moisture and chemicals.
Yes, they are 100% polyester with the flannel-like lining
i just did some vegas gold shorts and believe me it worked perfectly. i made a boo boo on one the shorts and tried to get it off. lol that vinyl was on there to stay. i used eco film. they had screen printed jerseys from somewhere else and when i saw the jersey and shorts together u couldnot tell the difference in applications.
man i love that eco film.

I just realized the color I need for this job I have in the Spectra Cut II not the Eco Film, will that also work on the 100% Polyester Tricot?
It may work, but I honestly don't feel as comfortable recommending it. I believe the Eco-Film is better for 100% poly based on my experience. You may want to test the Cut II.
