Printing on ribbed tank-top

(1/3) > >>

Denis Kolar:
I will be printing on a ribbed tank-top for a first time. I have bought stretch additive and I know that the tanks should be slightly stretched when printing.

Could someone shed more light on how much to stretch the shirts and how much of additive to add in the ink. I will be printing with QCM XOLB 158 and with WM Plastics HO Flo Pink on a top of the white. Do I need to add additive to both inks or just a white? It will be printed on a black tank-top from Boxercraft.

Any other pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks

Denis Kolar:
BTW, I do not know does it matter, but I have Wilflex stretch additive, Maybe Erin can chime in on the amount of it.

Fresh Baked Printing:
I can't speak to the inks you're using specifically but I print on ribbed tanks several times a year using Union plastisol with no additives. Customer is happy each time.

I'll take this with a reserve...........
Because 50% of the time you are 100% right. ;)

I print on them all of the time.  I never add additives for ribbed tanks, only for stretch under armour type garments.
