Printing on Poly Athletic Shorts?

[Frog]

In that vein, do any of you flash to shrink the fabric a bit first?

scobey and others...even with the hold down does it move slightly? or is it right on?

There is still some slight movement to the top layer when using a hold down. The way that it keeps the material in place is by putting tension on the the top layer. However, there is sufficient tension to hold the layer still during printing.

those Jigs look great but the initial investment is huge , Ive looked at them a couple of times and can't bring myself to spending $3.00 to  $400 per head.
Ive done transfers in the past and they work well , 550 wouldn't take that long and you could have  someone with no printing exp. work on them while your printer keeps printing.

We run ours on the manuel 4x4.  Co-workers loads and prints the first coat. Staion 2 flash. Station 3 cool.  Station second coat of ink and remove and put on the belt.

We have done as many as 300 in 3 hours. 


We cut all of our boards (circle boards and sub boards) from sink centers.  A friend of mine has a cabinet shop and gives them to me for free.

Yes, every once in a while one will move.  So much of it is poly , we do not pre-shirink.

I flashed before printing while loading.  Added an extra round, but when I didn't pre-flash I'd occasionally have an edge draw up.
