Got a job today that wants green and white ink on nylon bags...I have never printed on nylon before..what kind of ink do I use? I do have a poly white ink...can i use a poly on nylon?
and what about the curing process? Send them thru the dryer??
Mark: I’m assuming that these bags are not a one-time throw away promo items. If these bags are intended for long term use the print that you apply has to be durable. In this application saving a few pennies or even a dollar on ink can be false economy. There are a bunch of different inks that might work on Nylon with decent results, and at least one that will definitely produce great results.
the International Coatings 900 series was designed from the ground-up especially for screen-printing onto hard to decorate nylon fabrics. This ink when used with the its companion catalyst provides exceptional print performance and printability and durability. Email or PM me your address and contact information and I’ll send you a (1) Qt. of White, (1) Qt. of Kelly Green and (
Oz of catalyst.
All I’ll ask in return is for you to test out the inks, then return to this thread and provide review of your results.
