printing on hoodie hood with a liner?

[SI]

Received a contract job to print some artwork on a hood of a hoodie, and the hoods have liners in them.  The hoods wouldn't fit on a clamp pallet as they are too small, taping them down doesn't seem to help either, the top of the hood where i want to print still shifts.  Anyone care to share their secret for this type of job?

get a hold down pallet

tiny hold down pallet or transfers...

If one color and the hoodies discharges use youth platens on the auto. Slight bit of tack and throw the hoodie over the arm. Hood on platen like a shirt. You will be surprised how fast they go.

About the only thing that will work is a sports clamp.

The guys at Damascus use Indy hoodies that have the lined hood. PIA to put a full size print on there.. but I did.  110 mesh with a thick stencil and 1 glorious hit of white.

We have a jacket hold down device one for large back prints and one for left chest prints, but using clamps will work, slow printing but charge for it and make it worth your time.

As far as hold-downs go, a member here, Scobey, shared this that he built for shorts, that could start the creative process to build one for your hoods.

That is pretty cool....... I might try that with a magnetic hoop.

I think I'm going to go with the transfer method, and follow it up with never agreeing to print on a digital camo hood with a liner ever again.

Whoa, this is the first I see mention of Digital Camo. What color print?
If you go the cad-cut route, there is a sub blocking material available in white (and yellow).
I just did some Siser Easyweed red numbers on dye-subbed skeleton shirts, and the pattern came through a bit. Regular white would have been much worse.
I also just numbered some digital camo shirts, and used the Siser Subli-Block white. Worked fine, no bleed-through, but is not as supple.

What was your solution?

  If you really watch your curing temps, I have actually used standard poly white
to make a transfer. Once I even added some stretch additive to put them on a real
stretchy women's rib knit.

That's amazing.

You didn't use adhesive then, I gather. Did you hot peel/hot split?
