What type of ink would you use???
« on: March 16, 2016, 12:05:30 PM »
On a garment that is 52% cotton, 38% poly and 10% rayon??

Would you use t-shirt inks, poly inks or poly with streach inks??

Thank you for you help.
 :D :D

Just plain old low bleed like for 50/50 would be my first choice.
Rayon isn't, by nature, stretchy. It's not like Lycra or Spandex. I do notice a little more of a tendency to pucker when too hot, so you may now have two reasons to mind your temps. No biggie.
Of course, if these are light colored shirts, then regular old plastisol, still minding the temps.

As I said, the Rayon is a little more shrinky dink, so just don't use the same leeway you might with all cotton, but usual 50/50 parameters will be fine.
