Can anybody advise what my options are for printing a full colour image onto a Red, Nylon drawstring bag I've got an enquiry for 50, initially was thinking dark jet buy don't think this can be done on nylon

cheers

I used to sublimate the white ones and use vinyl for colours. Can't remember putting any transfers onto them but I'm sure it's possible. They tend to take very short times to press, watch out for plastics strings and corners etc.

A quick look at dark jet and it does state 100% nylon:

I wonder if the transfer may be a bit 'hard' on the bag? The vinyl I used to use worked a treat, still do the boys PE bags with it!

just make sure every part of the bag is covered with a teflon sheet - took me ages to clean the plate where a bit of the bag i was pressing was not covered grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, i was pressing a printed dark jet image onto a bag for a school - no problems (just needed to use my full size sheet)
