Question about poly spandex?

[rockerdude]

Looking for Names and Numbers for Sport tek 700.. 95 poly 5 spandex...
Transfer express says no go for their 2 color elasti prints Numbers...  I did a test and it seems fine after 3 washes?
Any suggestions?

I have done thermoflex plus vinyl on the a4 that is either 90/10 or 95/5 I don't remember. Are they saying the spandex is why it won't work?

Yes.. But I honestly think they are just trying to upsale me to the cadprintz? The test shirt I did has the normal Goof proof 2 color numbers with not much stretch and its holding up fine? I may just hit them with siser easy stretch one color and call it done? lol Never really layered the siser? They want white numbers with a black outline. But said worst case they could be just white.
I'm doing a cool print on the front with top score, so kinda wanted the back to pop also!

I have never used the siser easy stretch. I do know the easy weed tends to stretch/shrink a lot and makes it kind of difficult to layer correctly on poly. I would think cadpritz would be very expensive for names and numbers

I just ran some Easyweed two color numbers (not stretch), and rather than stacking, I just cut an outline straddling the number with enough of an overlap to place it easily.
I pre-shrink the jersey with a pressing also.
The stretch stuff would have worked similarly.

I use easy weed stretch all the time, no issues even layered it stays looking good

doing names numbers to me always seems to be less of an issue with stretch. At least thats how a I see it. I've never worried about the back, only the front. Easyweed stretch is nice. I think it shrinks less than the easyweed, but that could be in my head too. So I would think no issues with doing a name and number unless you are doing a name that connects all the way, then I might reconsider but there should be enough stretch in between letters to not effect the overall print. my .02
