Adidas A372
« on: June 30, 2021, 05:12:12 PM »
Does anyone have experience with these shirts? They are 92% poly and 8% elastane. Not sure if that's code for elastic or not. Super stretchy material that usually is a pain to load and unload. Looking for white ink recommendations to use on these garments. Thanks!

Add stretch additive for sure. but you lose opacity. If i remember worthless after that.

I don't think that adding stretch decreases the ink's life, just its opacity as mentioned.

That's something I'll have to look into. I use the additive from International Coatings, and never heard that.

I hate those kind of shirts...

International Coatings Performance Pro white for base or white.  I typically run a flash to preshrink, print, flash, print top colors or highlight then flash and cure on the heat press to keep temps at 270 to avoid weird issues if running a small batch.  Maybe that's just me...
