5% Spandex is the amount to allow it to stretch like crazy. Make sure that your ink can as well. Either a stretch ink or additive is in order for sure!

If you don't have stretch additive HD clear works perfectly

if this is the sanmar stuff, we will not print anything that requires flashing on it. The shirt is so fuzzy it is impossible to get a clean print. If you are printing navy on light blue, all is good, but anything that has to sit on top just has too much fuzz sticking out through the ink layer.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

I just did some with silicone ink and stretch wasn't an issue.
