Colin, it is a 2/1 rib tank-top, the one with "courser" ribs :) and it is a pretty stretchy.
I will start with about 10% and see where it goes.
Any other pointers...anybody.... or that is all that is different with ribbed tank-tops.

Just buy a few extra. You are going to have a few F'ups. Watch your dot gain because you will have to get ink down in the valleys that are there from the ribs. Post up some pics when your done.

athletic series inks work excellent also if you dont have any stretch additive...

There will be no pics :)
Came out horrible. Sandpaper seams smoother than those shirts.
It is solid lettering (pretty big, about 2.5" tall) printing white through 156 mesh and then HO FLO pink on a to of it through 156 mesh too.
I might change the design and do something else.

i hate ribbed tanks--i was never able to do any that i felt "ok" with manually--the auto can give me results that the customer is happy with, but in the end, when they always want some giant filled in design on these things, its never going to look like what is in pacsun because those things are waterbase most likely and they generally use some broken up splat, negative space-type design which is more suitable for this kind.... Like Frog said, "i dont recommend these"...i try to push people to get the Bella 8770 or the non-racerback version which i can't remember the model of. they're smooth, soft, longer fit and trendy--im wearing one right now. lol I also have never used stretch additive. i just stretch them over standard pallet which is usually about the size the woman will be when wearing it so even though it might looks weird laying on the table, it should look fine when put on--but im no expert, i just hate these things LOL
