Re: vinyl on polyester satin shorts

Post by windyash »

Ive been asked to put a logo on some running shorts which are 100%polyester but have a satin finish , normal MDP Hotflex doesnt seem to stick , Nyo flex doesnt seem to like it either

Any other suggestions please?

Also what clothing vinyls are people using now? I tries 123 flex when it first came out but didnt get on with it , and the MDP Hot flex seems to vary in quality from order to order . Ive got some
samples from Grafity and Xpres but just asking your views .

I'm surprised that the MDP vinyl is coming off I usually use it on the fruit of the loom performance T-shirts which are 100% polyester and these press know problem so much so that you can barely tell its vinyl it looks and feels more like a printed garment. Maybe they have some sort of chemical in the manufacturing process that's not letting it stick how about giving a pair a wash and trying again. just a thought.

HI , yes I do lots of AWD performance shirts and never had an issue but these shorts have a satin look shine to them and only some letters stick. Will try washing a pair and see :-)
