That being said, I read your title and in my brain I heard "efffff that".  This isn't the worst fabric to put a coating ink onto but it's certainly not the best.

But seriously, performance  ink for the ub and make sure it's nice and smooth.   You may need to budget for a couple revolutions depending on how well you do with that base and how the top colors play out printing wow.   You may want to separate knowing there will be less blending of the top colors if flashed. 

I always felt like some kinda ultra high end transfer would be better fit for these kinds of projects but don't know that exists and, if it does, at a price point competitive with screen printing.

I made a post about this the other week. It was crickets except for Zane I think. HP now has the "Latex" series printing on rolls / cut for textiles. Getting samples now. Then Mike Mossman and Eric on here are aware of what's going on overseas with this. Really trying to find something like this. If the transfers are nice they are water base already so would or could be awesome

Yeah it's high time for a solution like that.  I find that when we pull off a majestic and "perfect" plastisol print on substrates like this it still kinda feels like a good transfer at best.    Make it roll to roll and apply in line a la inline foiling!  Then you could combine it with direct print as needed and, the transfers would get a bona fide cure in the dryer.   There's been so much progress in these materials that this sounds very realistic to me.

Transfers would work well, but as i'm also diving more into research on this, i'm not seeing a great way with those digital printers to print blocker bases. I have some thoughts on how to do this with the hybrid printers though....more on that soon.

But doing this all HSA will work, but you'll need to use a clear or blocking base, and then all WOW highlights on top. you have to really control your flashes and pallet temp!! but the key is double base!

Decided we're not going to try to print them. Going to send them to be printed with a Digital Squeegee.
