Re: Printing red polyester

Post by proprints »

After always saying I would never print on customer clothing, I've finally be worn down.

I have a red tabard that requires black writing, but unsure what temps/times to use. The fabric is 65%poly / 35% cotton.

Thanks
Steve

I would do 1 minute at 200c.
I think the black will be fine.

I have just done some umbrellas and I pressed at 190° for 35 seconds for lettering and 50 seconds for a full coloured square, they were 100% poly though.
