Cad cut vinyl or ink on dri-fits?

(1/2) > >>

Prosperi-Tees:
Will cad cut work or is ink better?

Frog:
How many? What color? Do you have Poly ink if they are printed in white or light?

Prosperi-Tees:
Its going to be white on red. I do have poly white ink but am kinda nervous and wondering also is cad cut susceptible to bleeding as well?
If I go the ink route what mesh would you recommend? Its basic team name Cardinals on the front.

Sbrem:
The CAD should work if it's for poly, and most are. Some of the poly's I've worked on tend to melt on occasion, like some Nike shorts I ran recently... Check with the manufacturer on that. Otherwise, go for the poly white ink. Test it by printing and letting it sit for a couple of days, if it doesn't change by then, you're probably safe. One Stroke has a new poly white, and it's creamier than most, not so stiff...

Frog:
On a team run of 12, I would probably go for the cad-cut, but that's me.
As for them bleeding, they can, never happened to me, but I've heard of it. For known bad bleeders (or likely suspects), there is a Subli-Block from Specialty Materials. except that for Dazzle and misture wicking Poly, they recommend their "Extra" which is the choice for Nylon.

Siser, as far as I know, has no specific bleed resistant film, but also lists no limitations on type of poly.

If you decide to go heat seal, try to talk to a tech and get their take on it.

Steve, did the shorts melt in the dryer, or on a heat press?
