Anyone ever printed or pressed vinyl on these monstrosities :D
Just wondering if adding a little stretch and a little nylobond to some poly white and curing low and slow will work. Design is one color and simple, and fortunately kind of going on the side so the....umm "stretchiest" area isn't going to be under the print. Don't have a lot of time to test and order special inks etc unfortunately if I end up doing the job.

years ago I did some swim suits similar to this and used Gorilla Grip from Stahls, though if I had to do them again, and the design was similarly detailed as the one I did, I'd try a vinyl that had similar stretch and adhesion but with a stickier backing as weeding was a nightmare.

Doesnt nylon melt at a lower temp than the vinyl will adhere?

We do them for Larry Flynt's Hustler Club just like Frog describes, and we refuse
small detail for the same reason.

Obviously not as many basketball and football jerseys also used to be nylon and required the special materials like Stahls Thermo Grip, or Gorilla Grip, or the "Plus" or "Extra" added to the names of other maker's materials.
Even thin nylon ripstop camping stuff and cheap thin wind breakers are usually fine

cool, guess all I can do is test!

Is there any issue with adding stretch and nylobond to an ink?

Nylobond does not stretch well.... :)

In fact, it actually tends to make it a little bit more brittle.
