How to Screen Print on Poly Shirts

In this video, Geno Talkington of Wichita Screen Printing gives printers the rundown on polyester shirts.

Video takeaways:

• Poly inks cure at 280 degrees F (dye-sub is no worry)
• Poly inks tend to flash quickly for those performing wet-on-wet prints
• Leaving a poly shirt under a flash too long can cause shrinkage
• Consider putting the shirt through the conveyor dryer to encourage any shrinkage prior to the press
• Consider using triple-durometer squeegees for the best results
