Heat press on Dri Fit shirts?

[Mark @ Hurricane Printing]

Can you heat press plastisol images onto Dri Fit apparel like those Under Armor and Nike shirts?

I may have a possible job for a new customer but they are wanting Dri Fit shirts with their logo/design on it.

I have never printed on dri fit before and was just curious if heat pressing would be a better option than screen printing?

Sure, but you have the same possible bleeding issues with dark colored shirts and light color inks.

Get a good ink for blocking the bleed, and print it direct...

Unless this is a cad-cut vinyl iron on, Transfers soak in just as any poly garment.
Dri-fit is the moisture management coating and is not a concern for printing. The main
concern is the quality of the dyed material. Under Armor is pretty good as well as badger
and A4. Nike, Augusta and Teamworks are more bleed prone.

If you can print it you're better off. The poly tees tend to get really shiny when heat pressed. Need to lower the temp and use a kraft sheet over the image and not teflon.

Good luck.
