dri-fit

I'm going to be printing some dri-fit shirts and wondered it I need to plan on putting some stretch additive in the ink.

I just printed some today with Wilflex Top Score white pfp thru a 225 murikami smesh static. Print came out awesome and the ink was nice and soft, has a little stretch to it, covered well with no puff and cures at 290. Nice nice stuff compared to Rutland Super Poly that I have been using. And better yet Nazdar has it on sale.

Ok, my bad.  I should have provided a bit more info.

I used QCM WOW Red for the customers cotton shirts and it's a small order so planned on using the same ink. 

Not up for buying ink just for this small run.

What color are the dri-fits? I would be more concerned with bleed than stretch. If the shirt color is lighter than the ink color you should be fine.

Shirts are light grey and ink is bold red and also black

Yeah I would print it with what you have if a small run.

Those colors don't have to be thick, so they will stretch just fine with the fabric... I assume you don't print a thick layer of dark colors on light garments.

Not expecting the dri-fit to come up, the screen I made up is a 110, so hope it won't be too heavy for the dri-fit.  That's why I was wondering about the stretch additive, which I do have around.

[Gilligan]

Ah, yeah we would probably be using a 180s on the manual for those colors... It's funny I can't even relate to regular "t" mesh as we've never used enough of it.  I guess I'd have ran that on a 156 if I had t mesh.

You are gonna wish all of them were dri fits... They are so nice to print on.

Dri Fit is not necessarily stretchy. It just denotes a wicking function.

110 shouldn't present a problem, one stroke and done

Thanks for the tips.
