discharge is the only way to print bandannas,,,

here here!  Which ones discharge?  I've had no luck getting reactive dyed from any of our U.S. vendors but enough requests from clients to really want to find a source.

same boat here, it NEVER works.

We just ran a couple thousand from bandanapromtions.com and had zero issues discharging then across 4 different colors. There was also another 100% cotton one we used maybe a year ago that worked fine. I can look up and see what they were. I want to say they came from SanMar but could totally be wrong!

From www.bandannapromotions.com the 4900 was the ones we just printed a bunch of. It's a sunny 80 degree day in Minnesota right now so you will have to forgive me for not heading inside and looking the other ones up! 8)

Ha! Thanks guys. The other ones came from either SanMar, TSC, alphabroder or Bodek &Rhodes. I just can't remember of the top of my head. They were more expensive but for smaller runs we were able to tack them on with other stuff we were ordering.

The girl that does our social media and make us look cool even did a video of us printing some-

wholesaleforeveryone.com's 100% cotton solid color 22"x22" bandanas discharged just fine for us.  Probably been through thousands over the past year with no problems.  We did testing first.  We've done black, royal, dark grey and I think purple?  All worked out just fine.

Also, while I couldn't manage to get an actual rep on the phone when I tried they did call me and give me a $0.12 per piece discount once they saw the volume.  I guess not everyone orders 2400 (4 cases) bandanas at a time.
