Some one on eBay does it, my husband found him so when I get his link I'll pass it on to you, we gave him the design waiting to see what it will look like, takes pressure of us as we was going to embroider them. Lets hope he can, I thought that was a normal thing to screen print on towels. You seemed surprised, god lets hope I do done a pig in a poke

Can you ask the guy for a sample before commiting? Doesnt matter whats printed on the towel, just to give you an idea.
I tried it once when I screen printed but I wasnt happy with the result. The print just printed on the top of the toweling and not into it. . Maybe micro fleece towels would print ok.
Id Stick with Embroidery. ( Thats a German joke, almost)....

I agree with Earl's comments, I suppose it depends on the fibres but when I used to be in screen printing I would have said no to screen printing a towel.

I know systems and ways of doing things has moved on a lot since then so hopefully all will be good.

Once you have one I would be interested to see pictures of the result and the contact details, you never know I/we could throw work his way it its good.
