Polyester Black Tees

[Logoman]

I am printing 1000 Black Polyester Tees and need to print White and Red Print. What would be the bets to use on this. I have had problems with printing white on poly. Is there a ink that I would not have a problem with Bleeding regardless of Temp.?

Wilflex Top Score and WM Plastics Titan have been the home-run Poly Whites for us.

I'd say that if this is taken too literally, it could be a deal breaker. These poly inks tend to have a cure temp of 300 or below, and I'm pretty sure that is a factor in their bleed resistance.

Is there a higher Temp Poly Ink?

Define Higher Temp?

If you can go low temp for your cure.  Get the one stroke ELT-S series.

The real kicker - completely depends on the quality of the polyester in your shirts........

[Logoman]

Temperature higher than 320 degrees

why do you have to go so high?

[Logoman]

I have an old National Gas Dryer and it does not do well with Polyester Tees. I have 1000 to print 2/1. Trying to make sure the Poly. does not bleed through

You can mix in a touch of low cure additive into your highlight colors to help them cure at a lower temp as well.  Most poly inks like Onestroke do cure at a lower temp.

Once again where I love the Sport Tek PosCharge. Really shoes that poly dye does not have to be the issue it can be if apparel manufacturers thought about decoration down the line.

A lot of folks here disagree with me but we print a barrier base thru a 160 as the base then colors and you can run a decent LB white( wee use epic quick). The hand is excellent and I can honestly say we have not had a bleed problem.

And, this does fine at temps above 320 for Logoman?

I have a old National dryer, and I use Rutland white streetfighter with a low temp additive.  I make the shirt hit 315-320 degrees on the gun and I don't have a bleed or cure problem.  Just got done with Badger royal digital camo and Hanes 4820 in royal.
