100% poly black shirts... Any chance?
« on: July 02, 2013, 11:30:11 AM »
I have a customer that wants like 11 shirts done and he wants "under armor type" shirts.  They have a full color photo on the back and would need to be done with a transfer.

I know TECHNICALLY I can do it on a 50/50 if I'm careful, but I've never tried a 100% before.

I know sublimation is the way to go with Poly's but you can't go dark to light.

Typically we use 3G... anyone try it?

If you are really worried, you may ask someone here who prints vinyl about Subli Block.

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!

AWESOME!!

Come to find out they are just light weight cotton (maybe 50/50... but don't need to be).  So crisis averted.

We often warn folks who want wicking t's, then put a huge logo on them, that it takes away the wicking properties, so why spend the extra money for a wicking t that doesn't wick?

I use tons of transfers from TE, great product, great service.

Absolutely agree Steve.

I get teams that want dark colored shirts (that's a negative in itself) then they want something printed.  Where as if they go light I can print a thin layer of black ink that still breathes.
