Hi Maartje, If it is Lycra that you are pressing, from my days in the Plastics industry, I recall that Lycra is mostly polyurethane (80-85%), I don't believe it has any Polyester content

You are doing well if the results in your first post are pressed on Lycra

85% polyester

or 100% for 'stretch' fabric

Thanks Gary, in your examples, I can see how a blend of 85-90% Polyester with 10-15% Lycra will sublimate fine

Maartie has demonstrated that with his leotards above
