Ribbed Tanks

[Logoman]

Is there a way to print White ink on a Black Ribbed Tank and it not crack. Is it not curing or is it the wrong ink?

Last time I added a bit of stretch additive. They ran fine and I did nit have any issues with them.
Use few light flood/strokes, than flash, and than again few light flood/strokes for a good even coverage (On manual, I do not know about auto machine).

stretch additive for sure, as these are essentially stretch garments via the rib (and the fact that the younger ladies love to buy them tight!)

But, how are they cracking? is it just with normal stretch test stretching, or rigorous tugging imitating the abuse inflicted on said garment when a size 12 is squeezing into a 6?

If they crack with only modest stretching, you know the answer.
You can also do the true cure test and launder a couple of times.

Best is waterbase/discharge on appropriate garments. You can really get it down in
the ribs.
