Swimsuit Printing

Post by Gijo »

Anyone have any information on how to properly print white ink on 100% polyester swim suits. We use ptry to use polywhite, but we have to mix the SSVFF base in order for the print to stretch, but when we do this it bleeds. In anyone else successfully printing on swimsuits?

I haven't printed swimsuits, but I have printed other Polyester/Lycra mixes and I have had great sucess with One Stroke's POLY-STRETCH. Hope this helps...

i've printed on swimsuits before and I've just used normal poly ink... it streches enough to where it won't crack when on person...but if you try and crack the ink it does...
