Indura Fire Retardent Fabric

[totwdave]

Anyone ever printed on this?

I contract printed some coveralls for a client who resold them and is telling me their customer says the imprint is washing off.

I'm pretty sure my dryer temp was good when we did the job, but the client tells me their supplier says the temp needs to be REALLY high

It's got a slight nylon content- 10% I think, Is that enough to require catalyst?

Anyone heard of this?

On the plus side- they re-ordered, I just want to figure this out before we print anymore

Thanks!

Most likely the 10% factors into the problem. Check with your ink supplier to be sure. Before next run, print 1 and wash the snot out of it to be safe before doing any quantity.

Cured is cured.

Raising the heat will not necessarily help in adhesion
on a problem fabric.

It's possible the fabric is coated as well
with a water or stain resistant layer.

A catalyst will go a long to help with
durability.

As them for a sample swatch of the fabric for testing
so you're not having to deal with a whole garment.

Talked to someone else and they told me catalyst will help as well

Thanks for the replies!
