Printing on rayon or spandex

I have been asked to print a design on an athletic shirt. I believe the material is spandex (shiny, like a compression shirt). When I've done this in the past, I have had excessive bleed-through or the image appears fuzzy. Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions for acheiving a clean design on this type of shirt?

I'm using acrylic ink on a single station press with a standard squeegee. Any comments would be welcom...Thanks
