  print onto Dacron

  Posted by Dan Osterbery on 27 October 2009 at 17:50

  Hi guys,
  has anybody ever printed onto dacron? it is basically polyester, so i should be able to do it with a verscamm, but i have printed with about 15 different profiles and they all seem to bleed and i am running out of sample space??

  any suggestions appreciated

  thanks

  Dan

  dan if the material is bleeding then you can only reduce the total ink load, to a point that it does not bleed. then in may look a bit flat with the colours.
  some of these materials are coated on one side and are reverse wound on the roll.
  to test for this – squeeze the material between finger and thumb and see if one side sticks to you that is the coated side.
