EVA Material? Which ink...

[medium]

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any experience printing on Shell EVA material? I believe it's a stretchy type of fabric, used in this case for non-disposable ponchos...

I've never come across it before, got a white print on navy for 1000, thinking solvent is the way to go, any suggestions?

I've not used a solvent ink previously, but have experienced printing on poly and nylon.

Researching the fabric it's the same stuff glue sticks are made from... weird!

Additionally - I'm told there's no additional waterproof coating on the fabric so hopefully will get away without the use of an alcohol rub!

No experience, but notice that it's a common material for soft foam floor tiles.
I think that solvent based air-dry or catalyzed inks are used.
Perhaps a call to Nazdar will get you an answer.

Thanks for that Frog,
 I wonder how fast these inks air dry... just received a sample from COLEGRAF I'm about to try out, will update on the results!

Touching back on this - a 'typical' solvent ink flaked off like wiping frost from a windshield, even when delicately folding the garments.

Tried alcohol rub, same effect!

The research continues...
