Multicolor on Coaches Jackets
« on: September 11, 2014, 12:44:31 PM »
I have a customer who wants a three color print on black nylon coaches jackets.  I've done plenty of single color prints on nylon, but don't have any experience beyond that.  Any tips or tricks to printing multicolor on these?

Have a very good hold down and hope the registration is not tight as goats lips

I'll actually be using the unlined ones, so hold down won't be an issue.  Do you just print these wet on wet?  I'd imagine flashing isn't a great idea on these.

You will need some type of hold down device and you have to flash between colors. Use trap registration to resolve misregistration issues due to the substrate shrinking under the flash. Read over the link for more info... http://www.iccink.com/pdfs/Nylon%20Direct%20Print%20How%20To's.pdf
